WINSTON-SALEM – Students, faculty and staff of the School of Design and Production at the North Carolina School of the Arts will be at Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina, 3655 Reed Street, Winston-Salem, on Saturday, Oct. 1, to participate in a service project for hurricane relief.  

Approximately 30 trailers of donated items have been arriving at the Second Harvest Food Bank from the Northeast.  The trailers need to be sorted and palletized for distribution to the Gulf Coast.  Approximately 20 NCSA volunteers have signed up to work from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday. They will be wearing NCSA School of Design and Production T-shirts. 

American’s Second Harvest is the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the United States, securing and distributing nearly 2 billion pounds of food and grocery products to more than 200 regional food banks and food-rescue organization across the country. 

This NCSA service project for hurricane relief has been organized by John Horsman, who graduated from the School of Design and Production in 1980 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (concentration in stage management). He is back at NCSA as a first-year graduate student in the performing arts management program of the School of Design and Production.
