The SMSC is partnering with the CAP Agency and Second Harvest Heartland to divert food from being thrown away. We will host a food distribution event for the public to pick up food; drive-through style.

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:

• 10 am -12 pm (20 people)
• 12 pm – 2 pm (20 people)
• 2 pm – 4 pm (20 people)
• 4 pm – 6 pm (20 people)

Transportation/Parking:

• Volunteers can take the shuttle.
• Park in the lot between Playworks and The Meadows maintenance building. This is a better location if you are not staying the whole day.

Event Expectations:
Volunteers will be sorting and bagging food items, and then distributing them from 3-6pm to the public drive-through. Standing and outdoors throughout entire event. Volunteers on the last shift will need to help clean up.

Safety:
Gloves will be provided. Box cutters are utilized, these are sharp; do not leave them laying around or set down with the razer exposed. If broken, turn into a captain.

Food and Beverage:
Food, snacks, and water will be provided. Please let us know if you have any food restrictions.
