College students have been known to consume a few peanut butter and jelly sandwiches — and about 200 first-year Rochester Institute of Technology students spent part of their day Thursday doing what they can to help others do the same. Students at RIT's National Technical Institute for the Deaf made 500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to be given to the needy in Rochester.

They'll go to the Open Door Mission in Rochester and will last two or three days.

"It will be a great addition to our meal program," said Ron Fox, the mission's executive director.

Student Nelsy Carcamo, 19, of Mamaronek, Westchester County, became inspired to help others.

"There are a lot of people out there that really need our help," she said. "And I think we should be open-minded."
