This year during Ford Intern Volunteer Week, our Ford interns truly showed up for communities! ? 242 interns dedicated a collective 573.5 volunteer hours with incredible community partners, including Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan and Forgotten Harvest . A highlight of their efforts was at Gleaners, where interns packed and sorted an astonishing 50,000 lbs. of food, translating to 40,000 meals for area families! And they learned a few things, too. Connor Hoy has found that "there is a large need for milk! Shelf stable foods are staples for food banks like Gleaners because of time constraints with distribution. This leaves a gap for milk which is an important part of diets, especially for growing children." Michael Villeneuve learned more about what goes into tasks that people usually overlook, like packaging cans and boxes. "Gleaners has it down to a science and every little contribution goes a long way." Our interns are joining a long legacy of Ford employees who have strengthened our impact in communities. Since 2005, Ford employees have dedicated over 1.7 million volunteer hours to causes they care about through the Ford Volunteer Corps. Thank you to Ford Philanthropy for guiding the way.
