The Lowcountry Food Bank, a significant sustenance source for the food insecure in the Tri-County area, has received a generous donation of $100,000 from the Hendrick Automotive Group. The time and donations gathered from 1,100 Hendrick Automotive Group teammates, Toyota North America, and an additional match by the Hendrick Automotive Group Chair and CEO Rick Hendrick resulted in the commendable sum that is expected to significantly aid the food bank in its mission.
An impressive figure on its own, the value of this donation becomes truly monumental when translated into the amount of meals it can provide for the needy—the Lowcountry Food Bank estimates a whopping 500,000 meals can be procured with these funds. This will significantly alleviate the prevailing food insecurity issues in the tri-county area.
“We were excited to have Hendrick Automotive Group with us last week and we appreciate the generous donation of their time and the impact they make in the lives of those we serve,” Nick Osborne, Lowcountry Food Bank President and CEO, expressed.
This significant donation is not out of character for Hendrick Automotive Group, as it has been an active contributor for the Lowcountry Food Bank for the past eleven years. The group has also hosted over 34 meal drives throughout this timeframe, demonstrating their firm commitment to battle hunger in their community.
“We are proud to count Hendrick Automotive Group as a dedicated corporate partner for Lowcountry Food Bank, and today’s event is another example of their leadership and philosophy in action of giving back to the community through Hendrick Cares – their corporate social responsibility program that drives a legacy of caring for others and a commitment to teamwork.” Osborne further stated.
This laudable act by Hendrick Automotive Group is a sterling example of the impact that corporations can have on their communities when they engage in socially responsible behavior. As a continuing ally to the Lowcountry Food Bank and the food insecure community at large, their work substantiates the real-life implications of their corporate philosophy— Hendrick Cares.
The $100,000 donated by Hendrick Automotive Group is anticipated to play a vital role in tackling food insecurity issues in the Tri-County area and driving the mission of Lowcountry Food Bank forward.
