Capital Eurocars Invites the Tallahassee Community to Support Feeding Children Everywhere
The Capital group of dealerships are hosting a volunteer opportunity on Saturday, December 3, where community members are invited to join dealership staff to pack 50,000 meals for hungry children in the Tallahassee area.
TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA—Capital Eurocars is proud to announce its involvement with and support of Feeding Children Everywhere, an organization dedicated to empowering and mobilizing people to assemble healthy meals for hungry children.
On Saturday, December 3, the employees and families of Capital Eurocars, located in Tallahassee, will be packaging 50,000 meals to feed hungry local children. The dealership staff encourages members of the community to join Capital Eurocars packaging the meals for those in need in Tallahassee. There will be two shifts available-- the first one from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., and the second from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Capital is underwriting the cost of the 50,000 meals, but that isn’t the only way that the dealership group is supporting the cause. The dealerships will also be making a donation to Feeding Children Everywhere on the behalf of every customer who makes a vehicle purchases between now and December 3. In addition to that, all customers will have the opportunity to make a donation of their own while in the showroom or service center.
“We’re very committed to the support of this worthy cause,” said Crawford Atkins, General Manager of Capital Eurocars. “It’s a fact that currently, 1 in 5 children in the U.S. lack the basic nutrition required for sustained health and effective learning. Through this Hunger Project, you are helping feed those hungry bellies. Feeding Children Everywhere works hard each and every day to provide opportunities to feed these underserved children, and on behalf of everyone at Capital Eurocars, I’m proud to be a part of it.”
Anyone who would like to learn more about Capital Eurocars and its involvement with Feeding Children Everywhere can visit CapitalEurocars.com. To sign up to package meals on December 3, register here.
