Caliber Collision Donates Record-­‐Breaking 2.3 Million Meals To Help Feed At-­‐Risk Children During Summer LEWISVILLE, TX (July 16, 2015) -­‐ Caliber Collision leveraged its wide network of over 300 centers nationwide to make a serious dent in childhood hunger by donating a record-­‐breaking 2.3 million meals in food and cash to help at-­‐risk children this summer. Caliber’s 4th Annual Rhythm Restoration Food Drive is the largest of its kind in the collision industry. This year’s efforts resulted in nearly $300,000 in cash donations and close to 40,000 pounds of food to benefit 28 local food banks across the country. Contributions came from the Caliber teammates, customers, and business partners along with a $50,000 matching corporate donation. Caliber’s annual Rhythm Restoration Food Drive is a grassroots, employee-­‐driven labor of love in which Caliber teammates nationwide host food and fundraising drives in local communities, challenging each other to beat the previous year’s results. This year’s food drive more than doubled last year’s total of 1 million meals. “Caliber Collision’s Rhythm Restoration Food Drive is a wonderful opportunity for all of our teammates and business partners to get involved in our local communities as we go above and beyond to help kids in need,” said Steve Grimshaw, Caliber Collision CEO. “Our highest purpose is to restore our customers to the rhythm of their lives. Both the customers who walk through our doors and the greater communities that we serve around each of our centers.” According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), 15.8 million children under 18 in the United States live in households where they are unable to consistently access enough nutritious food necessary for a healthy life. Caliber Collision’s annual Rhythm Restoration Food Drive helps at-­‐risk children especially during the summer months when many do not have access to school lunch programs. Food banks that will benefit from this year’s Rhythm Restoration Food Drive include: Arizona Phoenix St. Mary's Food Bank Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona California Food Share, Inc. Community Food Bank Second Harvest Food Bank of Riverside & San Bernardino Los Angeles Regional Food Bank Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County Feeding America San Diego Placer Food Bank Second Harvest Food Bank of Santa Clara and San Mateo County Colorado Food Bank of The Rockies Florida Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida Feeding America Tampa Bay Georgia Atlanta Community Food Bank Maryland Maryland Food Bank -­‐ Salisbury Branch Nevada Three Square Food Bank Oklahoma Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma North Carolina Inter-­‐Faith Food Shuttle South Carolina Low Country Food Bank Harvest Hope Food Bank Greenville/Spartanburg Harvest Hope Food Bank Texas Capital Area Food Bank of Texas, Inc.
