Cleveland Foodbank for Second Straight Year
Cleveland, OH (November 27, 2013) — For the second straight year, the Greater Cleveland Automobile Dealers Association (GCADA), on behalf of its member dealers, will present a check for $50,000 to the Cleveland Foodbank on Thursday, December 5. The funds will be used as a part of a larger matching gift challenge from the Cleveland Foodbank. As a part of its holiday matching gift challenge, every dollar donated from the public to the Cleveland Foodbank from now until December 31, will be matched until a total of $150,000 is raised to fight hunger across Northeast Ohio.
Louis A. Vitantonio, President of the GCADA and local dealer representatives, including Frank Porter of Central Cadillac, David Waikem of Waikem Honda, Colin MacLean of Elyria Hyundai, and Ken Ganley of the Ganley Auto Group will make the presentation. Anne Campbell Goodman, President and CEO of the Cleveland Foodbank will receive the donation at the Foodbank’s headquarters at 15500 South Waterloo Road just off the East Shoreway promptly at 10 a.m.
The Cleveland Foodbank provides a very vital link between food and hunger, supplying the majority of food used at local hot meal sites, shelters and food pantries. In addition, the Foodbank also provides food to child care centers, group homes and programs for the elderly, working closely with other Northeast Ohio hunger relief organizations such as the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland, the Catholic Hunger and Shelter Network and the Salvation Army, among others.
In the spirit of the holiday season, the GCADA is inviting all of its media partners to come out to help support and promote this very worthwhile cause.
