Description

In partnership with the City of Benton Harbor, SMCAA is distributing food products and hygiene kits to the residents of the city. This distribution will assist up to 300 households within the city. Residents MUST apply to receive assistance on this day.
 
The distribution you are registering for will be at the SMCAA Warehouse: 331 Miller Street, Benton Harbor, MI 49022.

Your scheduled shift is on Tuesday, May 24, 2022 from 9:30am to 12:30pm(Note that the distribution will run from 10:00am to 12:00pm, so you may be done before 12:30pm.)

When you arrive, there will most likely already be a line of cars awaiting distribution. Please pass-by these clients’ vehicles, turn onto Miller Street, and a SMCAA staff member will direct you to where to park. Do not get in line behind the clients’ vehicles.

Once parked, please come into the warehouse through the open garage door under the SMCAA sign. Inside there will be a sign-in sheet. Once you sign-in, an SMCAA staff person will give you further instructions.

Important Notes:

  • This distribution event is outdoors, rain, snow or shine. Please dress accordingly. Boots or warm footwear with good traction are highly encouraged.
  • Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, SMCAA hosts distributions in a “drive-thru” format. Residents are asked to remain in their cars, so volunteers will not come face-to-face with others.
  • This is a physical volunteer request. Food boxes and/or products are distributed which may be heavy. If you have physical limitations, please note this and we will place you at a station with lighter product.

If you should have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email Ashley at aslack@smcaa.com or call me directly at 269-925-9077 ext. 864.

We at SMCAA are SO appreciative of each and every one of you. Your willingness to share your time and energy means the world to our agency, staff members, and clients. SMCAA is dedicated to empowering diverse people in need and supporting their journey towards economic security. Thank you for helping make our mission possible!
