Canisius Athletics Earns BSN Sports MAAC Community Spotlight Honors
Edison, N.J. (April 17, 2020) – The BSN Sports MAAC Community Spotlight will be a weekly feature of those giving back in an effort to make a difference in their communities. This week, members of the Canisius College athletic department have been assisting FeedMore WNY in delivering meals to senior citizens in the North Buffalo area who are unable to leave their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meal requests into FeedMore WNY have risen dramatically since the start of the crisis. The Community Foundation of Buffalo and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation have joined forces to work with local groups in and around Buffalo that have delivery vans and drivers who are willing to volunteer their time to assist in the meal distribution efforts.
Numerous members of the Canisius athletic department have helped deliver meals, and more of the staff is signed up to distribute meals over the next month or so. Pictured in the photo is Canisius’ head baseball coach Matt Mazurek, joined by Bridget Niland, the Director of Project Play WNY.
