The chapter knew that many musicians were struggling financially due to the impact that Covid-19 has had on their careers and wanted to do something about it. They reached out to local bands and set up a socially distant concert, with members livestreaming the event via Facebook from multiple locations. In total, they were able to raise $320 for the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. For this effort, they received the 2021 Outstanding Service Project Award from the Lindenwood University's Student Involvement & Student Government. Mu Delta University of Toledo, Alpha A, Region VII The Mu Delta chapter got creative this year and adapted a program typically executed through in-person instruction. They created and executed a completely virtual program by which girl scouts could earn their music badge. The chapter split into groups each focused on one of five different topics: 1. Explore how music is made; 2. Travel around the world of music; 3. Check out the music in your life; 4. Make your own music; 5. Perform your music. A presentation was made for each topic and designed to allow the girls scouts to participate and explore each topic in real time.

In total, the chapter digitized the complete choral library of eight schools in Watauga County, categorizing them by title, composer/arranger, parts, voicing, and the number of copies in the collection. The goal of this project was to give Watauga County's music teachers access to each other's inventory to facilitate the sharing of music throughout the district and to make it easier to maintain their own categorized library.
