In recognition of February being National Canned Food Month, HSHS Home Care and Hospice Southern Illinois, Dan Hecht Chevrolet Toyota, Northside Ford Lincoln and Roy Schmidt Honda recently teamed up to “Cram the Car” with non-perishable food items for the Catholic Charities food pantry. This third annual food drive effort by the four organizations collected 1,580 pounds, filling four Home Care cars of food for the Catholic Charities Food Pantry.
“Thanks to the generous contributions of our HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital colleagues and community members, this third annual ‘Cram the Car for Catholic Charities’ food drive was a success,” said Ashley Dillingham, HSHS Home Care and Hospice Southern Illinois Marketing Specialist. “The food we were able to collect was much appreciated by Catholic Charities and will be used to help families in our area.”
Dillingham extended her gratitude to Tammy Pike, with Dan Hecht Chevrolet Toyota; Jake Traub with Northside Ford; Doug Mette with Roy Schmidt Honda, and all their staff members for teaming up with HSHS Home Care and Hospice Southern Illinois in making this third annual food drive a huge success.
