Saturday, March 24th, 2007 is National Orange Day, the official date Syracuse University was founded...
Now in its 14th year, it is an annual celebration that allows SU students, staff and alumni to join together to show their orange spirit and pride by volunteering in a variety of community service events.
The GBSUAC will be collecting canned good donations and volunteering at the Greater Boston Food Bank from 12:30pm - 4:00pm to separate, sort, inspect and package food. We will also have a social pizza party (courtesy of Bertucci's) beforehand. The Food Bank is located at 99 Atkinson Street, Boston, and is possible via public transportation.
Volunteers will inspect, sort and repack donated grocery products that are then distributed to hunger relief agencies. With this help, the Food Bank is able to provide meals for over 83,000 people each week! The Food Bank distributes 24 million pounds of food annually to hundreds of hunger relief agencies in a dedicated partnership to feed our region's hungry. Please visit them online for more information at www.gbfb.org.
Mark your calendars and RSVP now! It is sure to be a fun and rewarding experience for our SU alumni, as well as any friends and family who would also like to help us out!
There will be a limited number of volunteers at the Food Bank, so please RSVP as soon as possible for you and your friends/family with the names and number of volunteers that will be attending to:
