The Community Food Security Program is a humanitarian initiative of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. – Shreveport Alumni Chapter dedicated to addressing hunger and food insecurity across Northwest Louisiana. Through coordinated food drives, community meal distributions, and strategic partnerships with food banks, shelters, churches, and social service organizations, the Chapter provides critical support to individuals and families facing food shortages.
This program places special emphasis on assisting children, seniors, veterans, and low-income households, particularly during high-need periods such as holidays, school breaks, and emergency situations.
