Hamilton, Ontario – Thanks to three CARSTAR locations across Hamilton and an 880lb food donation, Hamilton Food Share will be able to provide some of Hamilton’s most vulnerable with basic necessities.
The donation from CARSTAR Hamilton Midtown, CARSTAR Hamilton Lockwood and CARSTAR Waterdown helps to alleviate some of the current stress on food banks across North America who are experiencing a strain on provisions.
“Our goal with this donation is to help our most vulnerable during a difficult time,” says Peter Chavez, owner, CARSTAR Hamilton Midtown, CARSTAR Hamilton Lockwood and CARSTAR Waterdown. “Supporting the communities we work and live in is a core value of our business and we hope this donation helps those who need it most.”
Hamilton Food Share began in 1988 as a response to the hunger crisis that affected thousands in the 1980s. As the distribution hub of the Emergency Food Network in Hamilton, the Hamilton Food Share serves 13,000 people including 5,000 children each month through various partnerships.
“This year has created some challenging circumstances for many,” adds Robin Juns, VP of Sales and Marketing, CARSTAR Hamilton Midtown, CARSTAR Hamilton Lockwood and CARSTAR Waterdown. “I am grateful to be a part of such a hardworking and dedicated team, and I look forward to continuing supporting our community with both their collision repair needs and with future contributions.”
The three CARSTAR locations continue to actively support local community initiatives while also supporting its designated charitable cause, Cystic Fibrosis Canada. The team has hosted annual car washes for more than a decade to raise crucial funds and awareness for cystic fibrosis, the CARSTAR Hamilton team makes its communities a top priority.
