Giving 鈥機USEday Supports Student Scholarships, Food Pantry
The 网爆门 community will rally together on Tuesday, Dec. 2 for Giving 鈥機USEday, our version of Giving Tuesday鈥攁 global movement of radical generosity鈥攆ocused on supporting students facing food insecurity and funding scholarships.
Giving 鈥機USEday raises funds for general scholarships through The Syracuse Promise, helping to remove financial barriers for students. When you that day, you support talented and deserving current students.
Students, faculty, staff and alumni can also participate by dropping off nonperishable food items at the Schine Student Center Atrium between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. or by to the Coach Mac Food Pantry.
The Forever Orange Student Alumni Council (FOSAC) is hosting the in-person collection drive at Schine, with donated items delivered directly to Hendricks Chapel the following day. Members of the Syracuse Alumni office will join the event to offer prizes and information on how alumni giving supports student scholarships.
鈥淎s a student who鈥檚 benefited from scholarship support, it means a lot to give back and help others access the same opportunities. Being part of Giving 鈥機USEday lets me pay that support forward and make a real difference for other students,鈥 says Jenna Orlando 鈥26.
