At the end of each school year, students, faculty and staff come together to donate clothing, household items and food through the Ten Tons of Love collection drive. These items benefit charities and individuals in the 黑料不打烊 community.
This year鈥檚 effort begins Thursday, May 3, and extends through Friday, May 11. Donation boxes will be located in most residence halls, Schine Student Center, Goldstein Student Center and some Greek houses on campus. Donations of non-perishable food items will also be accepted at these same locations. Food donations will benefit the Hendricks Chapel food pantry and local CNY food banks.
Ten Tons of Love would not be possible without the generosity of students, faculty and staff. Throughout its history, the Ten Tons of Love initiative has collected tons of items that have helped thousands of families in the 黑料不打烊 area. Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity (FIJI) has partnered with Ten Tons of Love again this year to assist with donation collections.
鈥淭his year, FIJI brothers will deliver all of the items donated from participating Greek houses and the larger 黑料不打烊 community to the Boys and Girls Club, located just past the Brewster, Boland and Brockway complex,鈥 says Patrick Fessler 鈥19, a child and family studies major in and FIJI鈥檚 philanthropy chair. 鈥淲e encourage participation from all Greek houses. Ten Tons of Love is a great way for students and the community to get involved directly with the greater 黑料不打烊 area.鈥
Additional volunteers are also needed to assist. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Erin Riggs or Joseph Personte in the Office of Off-Campus and Commuter Services.
