Connecticut Honda Dealers Hold Third Annual Food and Fund Drive

Hartford, CT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/22/2017 --For the third year in a row, the Connecticut Honda Dealers plan to host a food and fund drive to aid Connecticut citizens in need. This year's Honda Against Hunger Food and Fund Drive started in mid-October and will run through December 12.

By collecting non-perishable food items and financial donations, the Connecticut Honda Dealers hope to support the Connecticut Food Bank and Foodshare with enough donations to make a significant difference in their local communities while raising awareness about the issue of hunger. The local organizations depend on individuals and businesses to provide healthy food so they can continue to aid others.

"Nearly 500,000 citizens of Connecticut are at risk of hunger each day," says Matthew Hoffman, President of the Connecticut Honda Dealer Ad Association. "We are very excited to host the third annual Honda Against Hunger Food and Fund Drive and hope to bring people together to really make a difference in our state."

The Connecticut Honda Dealers hope to collect double the amount of donations they collected during last year's food drive. The 2016 Food and Fund Drive ran from November 7 to December 12, during which time approximately 2,800 pounds of food was collected.
