This February, six SBAC ambassadors lent a helping hand at The People’s Pantry of Rochester. During a month dedicated to spreading love, SBAC ambassadors fostered meaningful connections with a community organization and gave back to the city of Rochester.
Our volunteers helped with stalking and organizing shelves to provide food for those in need. A big thank you to students Alexis Barrientos, Yesica Garcia, Samira Jimenez, Catherine McIntyre, Jaydee Ortez, and Diego Vazquez to dedicating their Saturday to serving the community of Rochester!
Several of these SBAC ambassadors also volunteered at The People’s Pantry during our ambassadors event last October. During their last visit, our ambassadors who are a part of the University of Rochester Adelante Juntos were able to build strong connections with community members, and assisted the pantry with a language barrier they were facing. They decided to return this February to continue this rewarding relationship with The People’s Pantry.
The SBAC ambassadors program works to create meaningful connections between the students of the University of Rochester and the greater Rochester community through volunteer work at local non-profit service organizations.
