Smith Brothers Farms, 26401 79th Ave. S., in Kent will host a free “Drive-Thru Grocery Giveaway” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 29 to help those struggling with food insecurity.
“Last year, we started thinking about how to celebrate our company’s 100th anniversary,” said Dustin Highland, president and CEO of Smith Brothers Farms, in a news release. “When COVID hit, we switched from party planning to looking for ways to support our neighbors in need. Our hearts go out to every person who has lost their job or may be struggling to feed their family.”
Each shopping bag will be filled with farm fresh milk, eggs, yogurt and cheese, as well as coffee, potatoes, apples, bread, orange juice, bagels and a “brick of bacon.”
“Our generous partners, including Tony’s Coffee, Blazing Bagels, Franz Bakery, Auburn Dairy, Seattle Bagel Bakery, Pacific Coast Fruit and Beecher’s Cheese, are helping us feed families and give back to a community that has supported us for the last century,” Highland said.
Drivers do not need to leave their vehicle. One bag per vehicle. Volunteers will wear masks and place groceries directly into the vehicle’s trunk.
Founded in 1920, Smith Brothers Farms is a family owned and operated dairy, headquartered in Kent. Smith Brothers delivers to more than 65,000 customers every week.
