Globally, the Ford Motor Company has collected over two million pounds of food during its current food drive.
This food will then be donated to local food banks around the world. Ford Motor Company has been recognized as achieving the world's largest auto dealer food drive.
There are 3,054 dealerships globally, and communities across Canada collected almost half of the weight.
At Dauphin Ford, the great food drive continues until the end of the day on Friday.
"We've got a truck in the showroom, and I would say the box is half full. The whole bottom is covered, and it's starting to pile up," said Cary Fillion. "Locally, we're doing a great job. We're very happy with our staff, our team, and all those who stepped up to donate."
Fillion, who celebrated two years at Dauphin Ford on Wednesday, says you can call the Dauphin Ford shuttle and they'll come pick up any donations you may have.
The number is 572-5720.
At the end of the day on Friday, all the food will be sent to the Dauphin & District Food Bank to help those in need in our community.
Cary says the support received has been incredible.
"It seems like the rural stores do very well. It's a small-town sort of thing, everyone gets together in a time of need," ended Fillion. "Dauphin and the Parkland area have come together and done a great job."
If you're out and about on Friday, take any donations to Dauphin Ford until 6:00 p.m.
