Devendorf Does Some Good

It's a shame that Halloween is so far off. Community Service Eric Devendorf would have been a costume-party winner anywhere in the SU area right about now.

Yep, that Eric over at the Rescue Mission in Syracuse where he's performing his mandated community service in order to work his way back on the SU basketball team:

"It's just a chance to come out here and help people less fortunate than myself,” Devendorf said.

This service is part of Devendorf's community service he needs to complete before he can return to the team. He is currently suspended from all university activities. He says he's been volunteering for the past few days at the Rescue Mission, helping out.

Kudos for Devo and all the volunteers over at the shelter. The Rescue Mission served "nearly 1,500 meals" on Christmas for those less fortunate or who are unable to leave their homes. So some good comes out of this after all.

Oh, and the hairnet. That's good too.

Feel free to stop by the Rescuse Mission website and make a donation if you feel so inclined. You can watch video on the story and see Devo in action scrubbing some dishes here.

I used to ball there....

I’m live in Binghamton, and growing up I was home-schooled all the way through high-school. NYS’s association of home-schoolers has a state-wide basketball league, where each region (’Cuse, Bingo, Elmira, Roc ect.) fields a team, and the annual finals tournament is at the RM every year, also the Syracuse team ( I believe the “Eagles”, tho I think they may have changed it recently) calls it their home floor.

All that to say this, RM is a GREAT program and facility and really is a ray of light in an otherwise hard neighborhood. Even though I’m in Bingo I try to go to Thrifty Shopper instead of the dollar store so I can throw them some support.
