"Human Service" is the motto of Acacia Fraternity. Each year, the fraternity holds unique philanthropic events to benefit the Shriner’s Burn Hospitals, which provide free hospitalization and care to children whose families can not afford their treatment, as well as other charities. Listed below are the philanthropies we do throughout the year.

Each year during the holiday season, Acacia chapters around the country collect new, unwrapped toys for children who might otherwise not receive presents. Dubbed Acacia Claus, this annual toy drive is designed to assist local organizations in our chapters' communities. Chapters are encouraged to put their own personal spin on the event; which often involves partnering with local retailers to solicit donations of toys or money from residents and customers.

This worthwhile event has not only brightened the lives of countless families in need, it has also provided our brotherhood with an opportunity to show the communities in which we reside that Acacia's "Human Service" focus is more than just lip service. It is a passion that drives and motivates our brothers in every aspect of their lives.

An Acacia tradition, Seven Days of Service is a week long attempt to improve the local community. Each day members of the fraternity take part in a different service project.

Recently co-founded by a member our chapter, Pages of Promise is an organization that collects new and used textbooks to send to schools in Africa. Over $200,000 worth of books are sent to Africa each year. Last spring we filled a 53' semi trailer with 26,000 pounds of books and sent them on their way to Africa.
