The San Marcos Community
The vibrant and growing city of San Marcos is the home of Texas State University. Every year, our chapter puts hundreds of hours into community service to uphold and maintain the beautiful area which we reside in. We have held multiple cleanups for large areas of downtown and local parks, organized a canned food drive in which we amassed over 1,000 pounds, aided the university’s president in hosting a charity fundraising event, helped assist and spend time with the elderly, and lended a hand to the school in running various events, among other things.
In addition, we host a week of fundraising each spring for the San Marcos Fire Department, which alone responds to hundreds of fires each year but often suffers from considerable funding and equipment shortages. We have also begun to host additional philanthropy events for various other charitable causes, such as a youth rehabilitation center. This year, we were able to raise just over $13,500 in total and hope to continue amplifying our support and service to our community.
