Cornell Cares Day 2008

Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.
R. W. Emerson

Cornell Cares Day is an annual worldwide student-alumni service event that connects Cornellians, past and present to serve their local community through direct, hands-on service projects. This year Cornell alumni and students joined together in 24 cities to participate in a day of service on January 5th!

We joined Cornell Club of Western Washington at Food Lifeline in Shoreline, WA along with dozens of alumni and family members to help sort, label, and re-package food donations for distribution to food banks, meal programs, and shelters. In addition to helping package over 17,000 lbs of food, it was a great opportunity to swap stories and network.
