Syracuse postal worker gives back
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A Syracuse postal worker carries on a 20 year tradition, with the help of lots of local kids.
Every year, Tony Wade hands out food baskets and presents to needy families along his route and he's helped out by children from the community, from six to 18 years old. Wade says it all started with just a few families, but it has grown to more than 100 families. He says the idea came from his own childhood.

"I started because I'm one of 14 kids, growing up on the South Side, being poor and I always said no matter what I do with my life, I'm going to be positive, so I'm going to bring something back," Wade said.
Wade says he raises money with the help of friends and family through a bowl-a-thon.
