LATHAM, N.Y. -- The Siena men's basketball team is starting off the new year by lending a hand at the Regional Food Bank. The players helped unload and sort items collected during their recent game at Times Union Center.

Following the holidays, the food bank is in need of re-stocking, and therefore Siena fans are asked to donate items, as there is a significant decrease in donations in January.

The outing has become a tradition for the team, as they have come back seven consecutive years to help during their winter break.
