On Saturday, March 12, 2016, the Roanoke (VA) Alumni Chapter worked with local volunteers to donate nonperishable items including canned goods and water to victims of a reported tornado that hit the town of Waverly, Virginia on February 24, 2016. The storm system killed three people and caused significant damage to the area. The Eastern Province Social Action Chairman, Edward Thomas organized the effort and charged each chapter in the Eastern Province to assist. Brother Fred McKenzie coordinated this initiative for the chapter.
