SUMMARY:The Fort Fills The Fleet
DESCRIPTION:Ride shotgun with us to fill our fleet and feed our neighbors!\nSouth Michigan Food Bank serves eight counties\, including Calhoun County. Our role as a food bank is to acquire millions of pounds of nutritious foods each year and partner with over 360 agencies to supply our neighbors with much-needed grocery products. We have a fleet of 19 trucks that travels across eight counties to deliver food! With your partnership\, we can fill our fleet and feed our neighbors. \nThe Fort Fills the Fleet is a fund and food-raising opportunity from April 1st to April 30th. It is designed for any size company. You can select from our distribution fleet and fill to capacity! It can be a cargo van that holds 2 pallets or for larger companies\, select the semi-truck that holds 20! Empower your coworkers\, your peers\, and your stockholders to maximize your time and dollar by engaging in the event that rises to the occasion and “puts the pedal to the metal\,” and End Hunger! \nHow To Participate\nYour company can get as creative and simple as you want! You can engage your team in multiple ways: host a team potluck with each employee contributing a donation\, compete between each department to raise the most cereal boxes\, or create a team-building experience by volunteering for a portion of your day! The first step is to choose your tier or vehicle\, then determine which activities you’ll complete to fill your vehicle! \nView PDF for details
