About 100 Cal State San Bernardino students will be packing boxes of food for needy families as part of national Make a Difference Day on Saturday, Oct. 22.

The students will be volunteering with the Community Action Partnership. The food boxes will be delivered to families throughout San Bernardino County, said Diane Podolske, director of CSUSB’s Office of Community Engagement.

The students will be working out of the Yasuda Center on campus from 9-11:30 a.m., Podolske said.

Started in 1992, Make a Difference Day is one of the largest national days of community service in the United States. Observed annually on the fourth Saturday of October, the event gathers thousands of volunteers who unite in a common mission to improve the lives of others.
