OSWEGO – More than 1,800 SUNY Oswego students gave up their dining center meals April 20, raising $5,695.96 to benefit the Rescue Mission and ensuring that homeless people will receive more than 2,500 meals through the statewide charitable alliance.

Since at least the early 1960s, Oswego students have carried the tradition forward, skipping a meal each semester and donating what they would have spent to one or more charitable organizations.
