Book It Across NC Project

Gamma Phi has placed over 5,000 books throughout Catawba County. Baskets, containing books (for children), magazines, and other reading materials, have been left and replaced on a regular basis at the Geitner Home for Women, the Abused Women's Shelter, the African-American Church, Social Services offices, the Flynn Home for Men, and at various laundromats, doctors' waiting rooms and at both hospitals in our county.

Book Bags

Our book bag project made the Charlotte Observer! Read all about it!

During the 2009-2010 school year, Gamma Phi delivered at least two filled book bags to every school in Catawba County. The 47 schools included 24 elementary school, 9 middle schools and 11 high schools, as well as 3 specialty schools. The 134 book bags were prepared for students who arrive at a new school and are in need of supplies; 10 schools were given extra bags based on economic need in the school area. Gamma Phi will continue this successful community project and prepare and deliver more of these book bags in the future.
