As the 501(c)3 affiliate of the Eta Iota Omega Chapter, the Service Builders Foundation provides the financial resources to carry out Alpha Kappa Alpha’s spirit of service within the Inkster community and surrounding areas.

Within recent years, the Service Builders Foundation has implemented several programs to address the needs of children and families, including the following:

• Co-sponsored the inaugural ‘Cyber Saturdays’ program with Wayne County Community College for over 100 grade K-8 students from the Inkster community and surrounding areas to impart knowledge on cybersecurity, coding, robotics, video game development, and STEM careers.
• Sponsored community health events to promote awareness in the areas of heart disease, mental health, and Alzheimer’s disease.
• Served/delivered 400 meals via our fourth Inkster Thanksgiving Dinner
  Partnered with AARP to host the second Community Shred Truck Day in Inkster, where over 200 participants shredded over 9,000 pounds of documents.
• Awarded $10,000 in scholarships and book awards to deserving high school students throughout Western Wayne County.

Service Builders Foundation has conducted numerous fundraisers, assessed our foundation members and secured federal, state and local grants to generate the funds to successfully operate targeted community service programs. Our signature fundraising events include the Fashion Show Extravaganza featuring Vogue Esquire Models, Community Birthday Calendar, ‘Rhythm & Wine’ Wine-Tasting and Silent Auction Event, Pearl & Jerseys: NCAA Final Four Watch Party, and HBCU Bowling Affair.

We encourage and welcome support of our programs from community members and the business community.   Donations to Service Builders Foundation, Inc. are tax deductible. Together, we can continue our legacy of exemplary service to Inkster and Western Wayne County.
