4th Annual Food Drive For Kids Kicks Off
Knowing that kids can’t have summer fun on an empty stomach, Caliber Collision is launching its 4th annual Rhythm Restoration Food Drive from June 8th through June 26th to benefit Feeding America Tampa Bay.
Caliber Collision has set up food collection bins at each of its 8 centers in Tampa and surrounding areas and urges customers and the public to drop off food items or cash do- nations.
The local Caliber locations are part of a company-wide national food drive that last year provided more than one million meals for children in need of food. The annual food drive is a grassroots, volunteer effort by Caliber teammates who have challenged each other to break 2014’s record and have set a nationwide goal of 2 million meals this year for at-risk children and families.
According to a recent report by Feeding America, despite the economic recovery, 1 in 5 children in the U.S. continue to struggle with hunger. Chronic illness is reported to be higher among children liv- ing in food-insecure house-
holds and the lack of adequate nutrition can literally change the structure of a child's brain and affect learning.
“For too many children, no school means no lunch,” said Steve Grimshaw, Caliber Collision’s Chief Executive Of- ficer. “Local food banks need extra help during the summer to ensure that those in need don’t go hungry. We are com- mitted to doubling our efforts this year to restore the rhythm of regular meals to children in each of the communities that Caliber serves.”
In addition to the food items, Caliber Collision has also committed to a corporate matching contribution for local food banks based on the amount collected by Caliber teammates locally.
Non-perishable food items or cash donations can be dropped off at the Caliber Col- lision location in Tampa listed below. The food bank cannot accept glass or open contain- ers, perishable or homemade items:
