Ford Motor Company is again teaming up with the Detroit Area Agency on Aging (DAAA) for the eighth consecutive year as part of the Holiday Meals on Wheels Thanksgiving program. Their efforts will ensure more than 6,000 area homebound seniors can enjoy a Thanksgiving Day meal.
Ford's donation of $50,000 to DAAA
not only goes to supply the food for Thanksgiving Meals, but it
provides additional funding for the daily meal service throughout the
year.
Additionally, Ford employees and their families will come together on Wednesday, Nov. 25, to assemble freshly prepared meals at Valley Services at 1980 Bagley in Detroit, starting at 8 a.m.
Thanksgiving
is a time to be thankful and share with those we love and care about -
especially our seniors, who are often alone on the holiday," said Paul Bridgewater, DAAA president and CEO.
"That's why we are thankful for the Ford Motor Company Fund. They are
driving away hunger on Thanksgiving with their generous donation that
enables us to deliver fresh, hot
traditional
Thanksgiving meals to about 6,000 seniors. It is not only a donation and
the volunteers they're supplying to DAAA, but a gift to our entire
community."
