On Nov. 23, 2024 the Hendricks Chapel food pantry was dedicated and renamed as the Coach Mac Food Pantry just before Coach Mac’s induction into Syracuse Football‘s Ring of Honor. We are so grateful to our wonderful campus partners and generous donors. Special thanks to Newhouse School at Syracuse University alum Sean McDonough ’84 and the entire MacPherson family!
In addition to his success as a Hall of Fame football coach at Syracuse University, Dick MacPherson (“Coach Mac”) was known for his devout faith, and for putting his faith into action in numerous ways, including collecting food items for those in need.
The renaming of the Coach Mac Food Pantry in Hendricks Chapel, made possible by McDonough ’84, is intended to inspire others to be of service.
Located in Hendricks Chapel and named in honor of Syracuse University football coach, Dick MacPherson, The Coach Mac Food Pantry provides support for Syracuse University and SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry students experiencing food insecurity.
