On Friday, Feb. 26, 2016, students and staff from the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business participated in a community service activity with the Maryland Food Bank, a hunger-relief organization. Smith Terp volunteers were assigned to the Maryland Food Bank’s main warehouse near Baltimore, Md., and spent the afternoon repacking donated food on a conveyor system, packing assorted food kits, packing health and beauty kits, and checking expiration dates.
