Caliber Expands Efforts to Fight Food Insecurity with 13th Annual Restoring You™ Food Drive

Lewisville, Texas – May 1, 2024 The Caliber family of automotive repair and service brands, including Caliber Collision alongside Caliber Auto Glass and Caliber Auto Care, today announced the launch of its 13th annual Restoring You™ Food Drive with an expanded goal to address food insecurity and hunger in Caliber communities nationwide.

 

Caliber’s Restoring You™ Food Drive rallies a nationwide network of more than 30,000 teammates across 41 states to support their communities in donating over 4 million meals to 165 food banks across the country.

 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as a lack of consistent and equitable access to healthy, safe and affordable foods that promote optimal health and well-being. The department estimates that more than 44 million people in the United States are food insecure, including one out of every five children. The number of families facing hunger issues or a lack of access to adequate quality food has increased 45% since 2021, adversely affecting many of the communities that Caliber serves.

 

“At Caliber, we are committed to restoring the rhythm of lives in the communities we serve and addressing the hardship of food insecurity,” said Todd Dillender, Chief Operating Officer of Caliber. “As a national brand with a significant footprint, we believe that our family of Caliber teammates, our customers and business partners will join together to help make a difference in people’s lives.”

 

Non-perishable food and monetary donations can be made at any Caliber location or conveniently online by July 1, 2024. To help donations go farther, the Caliber Foundation, Caliber's 501(c)(3) non-profit, will donate an additional $0.25 for every dollar raised. Donations to the Caliber Foundation are tax-deductible.
