rom tribal nations and local businesses to emergency disaster relief and students in need, helping others has long been a top priority for the SMSC. To empower its employees to take part in this tradition of giving, the SMSC launched the #SMSCgives Community Outreach program, an initiative that organizes volunteer opportunities both on-site and in nearby communities. The Community Outreach Program offers SMSC employees outreach hours each year to use toward volunteer opportunities, such as clothing and food drives, meal packing, gardening for local food shelves,
and so much more. Other #SMSCgives activities include in-kind and monetary donations, volunteer opportunities, and water bottle or equipment donations. The inspiration for the Community Outreach Program grew out of an initiative to increase the SMSC’s involvement in the greater community while supporting the Dakota tradition of helping others. At the heart of the program are the goals of assisting others through meaningful activities, building a stronger team— including both gaming team members and tribal operations employees—across the SMSC, and showing the public yet another way that the SMSC gives back.
