RIT students ‘jam’ to help the hungry
 | RIT's Student Alumni Union morphed into a sandwich shop Oct. 29 as the Center for Religious Life and Hillel sponsored PB Jam, an annual event
designed to raise awareness about hunger in our community. Volunteers made more than 2,000 peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches that were distributed to various shelters throughout the area.
"It is our hope to not only address the pressing needs of the hungry and the needy, but also to educate our own students that hunger is just a five or 10 minute drive from campus," says Jeff Hering, director of the Center for Religious Life. A. Sue Weisler | photographer |
