operation breakfast rescue
Student volunteers for Operation Breakfast Rescue collected more than 208 pounds of food last year.

SUNY Fredonia’s Volunteer and Community Service Department will host its fifth “Operation Breakfast Rescue,” an annual breakfast-food item donation drive that benefits the Chautauqua Country Rural Ministry (CCRM), a United Way, grassroots advocacy agency that meets the needs of the homeless, working poor and disenfranchised in Chautauqua County.

Donors can drop off breakfast food items in Reed Library boxes on Wednesday and Thursday (Nov. 3 and 4) this week, and at the Williams Center G138, all day (9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) on Friday, Nov. 5.

Over 208 pounds of food were collected last year.

Among some of the items were oatmeal, cream of wheat, a variety of cold cereal, pancake mixes, breakfast bars, baby formula and canned fruit.

Operation Breakfast Rescue is led by Joyce Harvard Smith, Coordinator of Volunteer and Community Services, with assistance from VCS intern, Meredith Fox. This special event is sponsored by Volunteer and Community Services along with the Delta Chi, Student Association and Daniel A. Reed Library.
