FORD MOTOR COMPANY, CHILDREN’S MUSEUM OF PHOENIX & ST. MARY'S FOOD DRIVE TEAM UP!

Receive A FREE Ticket to the Children’s Museum by Dropping Off 3 Nonperishable Food Items at a Valley Ford Dealership Between Oct. 22-31

PHOENIX – Ford Motor Company and the Children’s Museum of Phoenix have teamed up with St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance on the 10-day Ford Operation Goodwill Phoenix food drive taking place from Sat., Oct. 22 to Mon., Oct. 31 at Valley Ford dealerships.

Phoenix-area Ford dealerships will collect donations of nonperishable food that will provide nourishment to those in need in our state. The Children’s Museum of Phoenix will assist in the drive by providing one free general admission ticket to the Children’s Museum to each person who donates three nonperishable food items at any local Ford dealership. The tickets will be redeemable at the Museum during the month of December 2011.

As part of Ford’s Operation Goodwill Phoenix campaign, Ford Motor Company is sponsoring “Ford Technology & Innovation Month” at the Children’s Museum of Phoenix during the month of December 2011. In addition to the interactive exhibits, activities and programs will be themed around technology and innovation, and will reflect the enterprising spirit of Henry Ford.

“Our partnership with the Children’s Museum of Phoenix and St. Mary’s supports Ford’s global effort to address hunger relief in communities around the world,” said Mark Witthar, Phoenix regional manager for Ford Motor Company. “To date, Ford-related food drives have collected millions of pounds of food and we’ve supported those drives with refrigerated truck donations to food banks across the country.”



Last year, local Ford dealers were able to collect more than 5,000 pounds of food for United Food Bank in Mesa. The nonprofit also received a refrigerated F-550 truck from Ford Motor Company in 2009.
