HOUSTON — The North Harris County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.’s Total Wellness Expo officially returned to the Houston community on Saturday, March 16.
The Treasure Your Health Total Wellness Expo and Community Funfest embodies the sorority’s commitment to total wellness for the community. The theme for this year’s expo, which was hosted at the Fallbrook Church in Spring, was “Discovering the Treasure of Health, Wealth, and Social Awareness.”
“North Harris Alumnae Chapter was chartered to serve the needs in Cypress, Humble, Jersey Village, Spring, and Tomball communities,” said North Harris County Alumnae Chapter President Tricia Mayes Johnson. “However, our goal has always been to impact whatever community we touch.”
This event was the embodiment of the sorority’s Five Point Programmatic Thrust, which is:
- Economic Development
- Educational Development
- International Awareness and Involvement
- Physical and Mental Health
- Political Awareness and Involvement
The organization aims to educate and bring awareness to those things that impact every area people’s lives. Because the focus of the program was on the entire family, the sorority shared information and activities for every member of the household.
In addition to activities, guests received free health screenings, information from financial resources, tips from wellness professionals, food distribution, and more.
