AS part of Ford Global Caring Month, Kilmore Ford joined over 5000 Ford dealers worldwide to support a global initiative aimed at fighting hunger and assisting communities in need.
This global effort saw each Ford dealer aiming to collect at least 100kg of food, with a collective target of over 500,000 kilograms to be donated to local food banks, pantries, and non-profit organisations worldwide.
Running from September 15 to 25, Kilmore Ford called on their local community to donate non-perishable food items to help those facing food insecurity.
Thanks to the amazing generosity of the Kilmore locals, along with the dedicated staff and suppliers of Kilmore Ford, a remarkable 315 kilograms of food was collected and donated.
These vital donations will go directly to Foodbank VIC, helping to provide nutritious meals to vulnerable Australians. This marks the second year in a row that Dove Automotive has proudly supported Foodbank in their ‘Emergency Food Drive’.
“I’m so grateful to Kilmore Ford, Dove Automotive, and the Kilmore community for their support during Ford Global Caring Month. As someone who grew up in Kilmore, it’s incredibly special to see the town come together. Their generous donation of 315kg of food will make a real difference for Victorians doing it tough.” Foodbank VIC CEO, Dave McNamara said.
Foodbank Victoria is dedicated to providing food relief to vulnerable individuals and families across Victoria. They work with over 500 charity partners and 1,300+ schools, distributing millions of meals annually. Their efforts include supporting everyday food needs and responding to crises like bushfires, floods, and pandemics, partnering with charities and schools to ensure food reaches those in need and helping feed 69,000 Victorians each day.
