March 24th is National Orange Day, the official date Syracuse University was founded...  Now in its 15th year of celebrations, 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 Boston Orange will be collecting canned good donations and volunteering on Saturday, April 26th at the Greater Boston Food Bank  from Noon - 4:00pm to separate, sort, inspect and package food, beginning with a pizza party lunch - all in honor of National Orange Day.  The Food Bank is located at 99 Atkinson Street, Boston, and is accessible 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!  This is our 2nd annual National Orange Day celebration volunteering at the Greater Boston Food Bank! 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:  This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it .  Additional details will be emailed to RSVP participants closer to the event.  Hope to see you there!!
