Alfred Area Food Pantry needs volunteers

The Alfred Food Pantry (community based, not the AU Food Bank) is seeking volunteers beginning in July 2026.
Volunteering for the Food Pantry is rewarding and easy. A volunteer may offer to take one, hour-long shift per month or as an "on call" volunteer, subbing for a regular worker when needed.
Regular shifts are every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30 at the Alfred United Methodist Church on Moland Road. All volunteers must attend a training session where they shadow an experienced worker.
We also welcome High School students accompanied by a parent. We currently have workers who serve alongside their child on a regular shift. This is a great way for young people to garner community service points and feel involved in helping our growing food insecure population.
College students are encouraged as well and would work alongside one of our current volunteers.
If interested contact Luanne Crosby at [email protected]

Payroll #13 Timesheet (Memorial Day)

Please note that Alfred University will be observing Memorial Day on Monday May 27th. This is a paid holiday for all eligible employees and falls on the #13 pay period (5/24/26-6/6/26). Please be mindful to not copy and paste your hours on this timesheet and code that you worked on 5/25/26 when you took Holiday time.

Supervisors should review all employees' timesheets individually, for accuracy, please do not just select approve all.

How to enter Holiday time on timesheets:

Under the Holiday slot on your timesheet, enter the required hours per day by either entering 7, 7.5, or 8 hours depending on your job classification and accrued leave time.

For hourly employees who will be required to work over the holiday break you will enter the hours you worked along with entering your holiday time (you will have a total of 2 entries for the days you work over the break). Only essential staff, with prior approval by their Supervisor, will have coded work hours over the break. Supervisor please email payroll who you anticipated to work on the Memorial Day.

Temporary summer employees and student workers do not qualify for holiday pay.
Temporary employees of the University both part-time and full-time, (excluding student workers, summer workers, and interns) must code 4 hours of Holiday time on their timesheet for the holiday, only if that day is one, they are normally scheduled to work.

If you work your normal scheduled hours on the holiday and do not code Holiday time, you will not receive the full 4 hours of holiday pay. Example: If you are normally scheduled to work 3 hours on 05/25/2026 and you work those 3 hours, you would only receive 1 additional hour of Holiday pay to equal the 4-hour holiday benefit.

Should your post be an Alfred Today Announcement or an Event?

Campus community,

We have noticed a large influx of Alfred Today announcements over the past academic year that could likely be events posted to the event calendar instead.

Before posting to Alfred Today, please consider whether an informational item should be created on the event calendar or posted as an announcement.

What's the difference? Events take place at a specific location, at a given date and time.

If your informational item doesn't have a location, date or time - then it is likely an announcement for Alfred Today.
