From Executive Director of the YMCAand SoM Alum, Rebecca Atwell: "I want you to know how proud I am of the Sage SAAC students who helped to distribute 650 boxe...s of food (30-40lbs each) in less than an hour in Albany last [Sunday] night!! They were incredible. Liam Dowd, Lacrosse, took the lead on a second group distributing which led to the success of such a quick distribution time. Every single student was involved and we were extremely appreciative of their help! We would love to have the students join us again October 23rd and 30th. Based on what we learned yesterday, it would be best for them to arrive at 4:30pm. (260 South Pearl Street) Thank you for all of your efforts!! In total, we distributed 2,000 boxes which was the equivalent of 60,000lbs of food Sunday!!"

Russell Sage College student-athletes helped local families in need by participating in the Farmers to Families food box pick-up program on Friday in Albany. Th...e food distribution, organized by the Capital District YMCA, will continue Oct. 23 and 30 in Albany, Troy, Rensselaer and Greene County.
