Other recent national initiative include MLK Day of Service and 9/11 Memorial Flag Day.

Food Fight Against Hunger

SAL's Food Fight Against Hunger is a friendly competition that takes place every fall between SAL chapters all across the nation to raise the most non-perishable food items for local food banks. Since 2010, Sigma Alpha Lambda members have collected over 120,000 food items for their local food banks.

Relay for Life

Sigma Alpha Lambda is a National Youth Affiliate of the American Cancer Societies Relay for Life. Each spring, SAL chapters across the nation are encouraged to partake in their local Relay for Life and collect donations on behalf of their SAL team.
