Among the many activities planned for National Orange Day is one that will help feed those in need in Central New York. It’s a National Orange Day tradition to honor Syracuse University’s birthday by giving back.

Preferred donation items include canned tuna, canned fruit/vegetables, peanut butter, pasta/rice/grains, cereals, oatmeal, and soups and stews. For those who can’t make it to campus, CNY Orange is also holding a virtual food drive, which will be live from Sunday evening, March 22, through Wednesday, March 25. Once the link is live, donations can be made here.
