"New" Truck at EGFBS

Remember the wonderfully huge donation from the Greater Sacramento New Car Dealers Associaton this past May?  Recently we were able to purchase a suitable pickup that is new to us. 

Our volunteers have been busily picking up donations, running errands and delivering food with our newest vehicle; so much so that I just heard that the truck was here.  Haven't seen it yet. 

"Yes the truck is here.  Have you seen it?  It is soo nice!" 

"The new truck has that liner stuff in the back.  The truck will stay nice for a long time.  It also has the tie-down things, so we can secure things down." 

Haven't been able to see the truck in person until today.  Wow!  It's beautiful inside and out!  All that is missing is the "new car smell".

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Greater Sacramento New Car Dealers Associaton!  We can more efficiently serve the needy in our community with your generous donation.  

 

 

Thank you for supporting your local food bank!

Donation from the Greater Sacramento New Car Dealers Association

You can image the excitement when you arrive at work and this is the first thing you see!  After the jumping up and down was over, we found out that the amount was $17,000!  Then we had to sit down.  Take a breath.  Wow!

The Greater Sacramento New Car Dealers Association donated towards the purchase of a new truck for Elk Grove Food Bank Services.  In past postings you can see our one and only panel truck.  With another truck we will be able to make more deliveries to clients without transportation, pick up donations, transport gleaned produce from Davis Ranch, etc. 

Thank you, thank you, Greater Sacramento New Car Dealers Association!  We will be better able to serve our clients with your very generous donation!
