Thanksgiving allows us an opportunity to reflect on what we have ofvalue in our lives and reminds us to be grateful for these things. The generosity shown by the approximately 200 volunteers of the annual food drive is truly something for the College community to value. Under the direction of Rev. Carl G. Olin, Jr., associate campus minister, teams of student volunteers gathered food and cash donations from 13 area groceiy stores. As customers entered, they were given slips of paper asking, "Would you be willing to buy one or more of the following [food] items to help provide a better holiday celebration for poor people in inner-city Buffalo?...we guarantee that all we collect will go to truly needy individuals and families." Several other volunteers spent the day in the Undercroft of Christ the King Chapel sorting the donations. The food and money collected was distributed between St. Anne's Parish, for food baskets; South Buffalo Community Table for its food baskets and soup kitchen; and the Community Information Center for food baskets. Pastor Olin estimated the value of food donations to be $16,000 — $18,000, which "isn't as much as in the past... We only had 13 stores... We just didn't have enough volunteers," he said, explaining the decrease. Had enough people volunteered, the College would have been able to collect from 10 additional area stores. The volunteers agreed the day was a moving experience. "When students go out for the day, they come back and have wonderful stories of the day." The basketball team is one student group that volunteers each year for the food drive. According to Chris Young *96, "We do this every year, to help the community...They come to our games to help support us; this gives us a chance to help them." Team members worked sorting donations in the Undercroft. Maiy Lou Littlefield, director of publications, summarized her reasons for volunteering. "It just makes you feel good... and I could do with a little less." "This is a time of giving and sharing," explained sophomore J.P. Manion, who volunteered at Canisius' food drive for the first time this year. The people at the stores "were very friendly," he reported and added that he was moved by the number of customers who seemed to not have much for themselves but gave donations anyway. Manion saw the food drive as a way to live the Jesuit ideals he has learned from his years at Canisius and at a Jesuit high school. "It all worked out for the better.... Everybody helped everybody else." Miller also expressed concern over the heat and lighting capabilities of the Armory. The Delavan Street Armory was originally evaluated as a possible sight for an ice hockey rink for Canisius, but this possibility has been ruled out.
