CHRYSLER FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES $200,000 DONATION TO HOUSTON FOOD BANK

MarketWatch and several other news organizations are reporting that The Chrysler Foundation is donating $200,000 to the Houston Food Bank in order to helkp out those people who have been devatstated in the wake of Hurricane Ike.

Due to the value of volume purchasing provided by the Houston Food Bank, the donation amount of $200,000 was nearly doubled, which equated to seven semitrailers filled with food and supplies for distribution.

The Chrysler Foundation had this to say about their recent contribution:

“The Chrysler Foundation is proud to partner with the Houston Food Bank to aid the citizens of Houston whose lives have been devastated by Hurricane Ike,” Brian Glowiak, Vice President — The Chrysler Foundation, said.

“This relief effort came together in under 24 hours thanks to the efforts of food bank organizers, our dealers and their employees, as well as Chrysler LLC Southwest Business Center and Mopar(R) Parts Distribution Center employees in Dallas all working together to support those in a time of need.”

Food Pantries and Food Banks across the United States are always very thankful for the wonderful contributions from companies in the private sector like Chrysler, who step up and give so much back to their communities.
