POTSDAM -- SUNY Potsdam will bring together alumni, students, faculty, staff and parents for the college's second Days of Service project on Saturday, Nov. 3 and Sunday, Nov. 4.

The project seeks to unite campus community members through volunteerism and Potsdam Pride.

New this year is the option of both weekend days, to give participants more scheduling flexibility. Volunteers are welcome to pitch in for a few hours on one of those days.

Last year, hundreds of students participated in service-based projects in the North Country, while alumni across the state and beyond pitched in to help local organizations and causes in their areas.

SUNY Potsdam students raked leaves at local parks, cleaned kennels at the Potsdam Humane Society, sorted clothes at the Salvation Army in Massena, and provided help to many other community organizations.

The SUNY Potsdam Days of Service also engages volunteers across New York State and wherever alumni live, to complete a variety of community service projects and share their pride in their alma mater.

All campus community members are welcome to participate in the SUNY Potsdam Days of Service on Saturday or Sunday.

To take part, visit www.potsdam.edu/dayofservice, and register to join a project in your area -- or coordinate a project for a favorite cause in your own town.

Volunteers are encouraged to wear their SUNY Potsdam Bears gear on site and to post photos of their project on social media, using the hashtag #PotsdamProud.

The following are official SUNY Potsdam Days of Service volunteer sites.

In Potsdam, Bayside Cemetery, C.O.R.C. Thrift Store, Garfield Cemetery, North Country Children's Museum, Potsdam Food Co-op, Potsdam Humane Society, Potsdam Public Library, and Potsdam Village Parks.

Other North Country sites are Local Living Venture in Canton, Norwood Head Start Playground Clean-Up in Norwood, Salvation Army in Massena, and Toys for Tots in Ogdensburg.

Around the state, volunteers will be at Dutchess County Outreach Farm Stand in Poughkeepsie, Friends of Rogers Environmental Educational Center in Sherburne, Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, and Onondaga County Public Library, White Branch in Syracuse.
