In partnership with the cap agency, the SMSC will host a food distribution for the public to pick up food – drive thru style.
Food is sourced from second harvest heartland to help divert food from being thrown away.

Intern day! The SMSC & GE interns will be onsite all day and will take up a majority of the shifts.

Volunteers will help sort and bag food from 10 am – 3 pm.

The distribution (when the public can start coming thru the line) will be from 3pm – 6 pm or until gone, whichever happens first.

Shifts

Interns will be on site all day, so no volunteers are needed in the morning.

The last shift may end early and will help clean up.
