Delta Chi volunteers helped collect 315 pounds of food last year for Operation Breakfast Rescue. 

SUNY Fredonia’s Volunteer and Community Services Department, which is a part of Campus Life, will host its seventh “Operation Breakfast Rescue” Nov. 1 - 3, on campus.

Donors are asked to provide non-perishable foods such as oatmeal, cream of wheat, a variety of cold cereals, pancake mixes, breakfast bars, baby formula, canned fruit and other shelf-stable breakfast foods. 

Over 315 pounds of food were collected the past year.

The items will be donated to the Chautauqua County Rural Ministry (CCRM), a United Way, grassroots advocacy agency that meets the needs of the homeless, working poor and disenfranchised in Chautauqua County.

The breakfast food items can be dropped off on Thursday, Nov. 3, at the Williams Center Temporary Complex Building, G-138 (trailor next to Dod's Hall) from 9 a.m. to  4 p.m.

Additional donations can be placed in boxes which are located in the Daniel A. Reed Library on Tuesday, Nov.1 and Wednesday, Nov. 2 (all day).

Operation Breakfast Rescue is led by Joyce Harvard Smith, Coordinator of Volunteer and Community Services. This special event is sponsored by Volunteer and Community Services, Delta Chi, and the Daniel A. Reed Library.
