Our major accomplishments include:
- We recently hosted food drives as part of the Hunger Is Not A Game campaign. We set up collection bins at several local libraries to collect nonperishable food items for a local food bank, the Delco Interfaith Food Assistance Network.
- We participate in all of the HPA’s campaigns to the best of our ability, but our favorite is Accio Books! each year. The past two years we have even hosted an Accio Books Party at a local library where attendees are asked to bring books to donate as well as participate in Harry Potter themed games and activities. We have donated books locally to nursing homes, daycare centers, and literacy organizations.
- We have several creative members, so we love to do crafty projects! We’ve made blankets, pillowcases, hats and cards for a variety of organizations. We also participate in craft fairs each fall that allow us to fundraise for our chapter.
Our Mission as an HPA chapter
The HPA applies the values and themes of the Harry Potter series to the real world. We mirror this to apply those same values and themes to our own community. We participate in the HPA’s organization-wide campaigns as well as other campaigns that our chapter members are interested in. We’ve had a lot of fun these past three and a half years, and we’re looking forward to what’s coming up with the HPA and Imagine Better.
