According to a report from The Elkhart Truth, two Ram vehicles have been donated by THOR Industries to support the countywide hunger relief collaboration led by Hunger Ends Here, helping local nonprofit organizations expand their ability to rescue and distribute food across the community.
The vehicles will be used by nonprofit partners working on the front lines of food insecurity in Elkhart County, organizers said. Reliable transportation is a critical part of food rescue, allowing organizations to collect surplus food and deliver it to families who need it most.
By increasing transportation capacity, the vehicles will help partners rescue more food that might otherwise go to waste and ensure it reaches people facing hunger throughout the county.
Hunger Ends Here is a partnership of nonprofit organizations united by one mission: to ensure no one in our community goes hungry. By pooling resources, sharing ideas, and working side-by-side, the collaborative works to address food insecurity with the strength that comes from community-wide cooperation.
“The Hunger Ends Here collaboration is one that aligns closely and embraces our core values of community and compassion,” said Bob Martin, THOR president and CEO. “By providing these two vans, we are enabling local partners to scale their operations and to deliver essential food and resources directly to those in our communities who need them most. Together, we can help tackle food insecurity.”
