91³Ô¹Ï

ALBANY, NY  – As part of 91³Ô¹Ï’s annual Volunteer Week, University staff volunteered with six charitable organizations in the Albany community from April 7-11, including the Capital City Rescue Mission, the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, the Radix Ecological Sustainability Center, the South End Children’s Cafe, the Underground Railroad Education Center, and YWCA of the Greater Capital Region.

The volunteer opportunities were organized by Excelsior’s Community Engagement Group, a staff committee dedicated to coordinating charitable programs throughout the Albany area. In addition to Volunteer Week, the Community Engagement Group collects hundreds of donations annually to benefit Albany County Adopt-a-Family and its own Snacks for Students program, which provides healthy snacks for Troy and Albany High School students in need on a monthly basis.
