Performance Auto Group Collects Food and Toys for People in Need
Posted on December 28, 2016
Performance Auto Group is on a drive to spread joy and support communities during the 2016 holiday season by collecting food and toys for people in need across southern Ontario.
The initiative is a group-wide effort, and is being run in tandem with manufacturer-driven campaigns to collect donations for numerous charities in the GTA and Niagara. In Brampton, all Performance dealerships participated in the City of Brampton Food and Toy Drive, and collected non-perishable food items and new, unwrapped toys. All donated items were distributed to families in need through the Brampton Food Sharing Network and the Peel Regional Police Toys for Tots program.
Planet Ford and Classic Honda also ran manufacturer-supported toy drives in addition to the city of Brampton program. Planet Ford participated in the 21st Annual Toy Mountain Campaign, and filled up the bed of a brand new F-150 with toys and gifts for less privileged children and teens.
Classic Honda and Bolton Honda also ran Honda Canada's CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish program, and collected toys on behalf of the manufacturer for families in need. The program was Honda's 50th Annual Toy Drive, and is considered one of the largest distributors of toys to children in the Greater Toronto Area. In Toronto, Don Valley Volkswagen also joined hands with The Community Share Food Bank, and set up food bins in the showroom to collect non-perishable items for the charity.
In Niagara, all Performance dealerships actively collected toys and nonperishable food items for Community Care of St. Catharines and Thorold. Collection bins were placed prominently at all locations, which helped encourage people to donate during the holiday season. Performance Auto Group employees also donated generously, and helped fill up numerous food and toy collection barrels for Community Care.
Performance Auto Group's drive to collect food and toys for people in need this holiday season is a part of the group's Drive Change initiative, which ensures that our organization gives back visibly to the communities which we serve.
