Starting in 2013, SAAC decided to assist a project of two of their Members, [[Ryan Alexander]] and [[Jillian Quirante]].  Ryan and Jillian are members of the Board of Directors for [https://www.missionofhopepi.com Mission of Hope - Philippines].  The project that they decided to take on was to collect Hershey chocolate bars for the working students providing them with a sweet treat, in addition to the supplies brought by the Mission of Hope team, and often a source of food for the day.  In efforts to collect the most Hershey bars for the cause, they decided to have a friendly competition with the local Collegiate Chapter [[Epsilon Xi]].  The Chapter who collects the most Hershey bars during the allotted time won bragging rights and additional PR via the Mission of Hope - Philippines.  Other Brothers from around the nation are encouraged to participate as well.  Alumni Members may donate bars toward SAAC's total and Collegiate Members may donate bars toward Epsilon Xi's total.
