ROCHESTER, NY (November 3, 2023) – Monro, Inc., one of the largest independent auto service and tire dealers in the United States, will run its annual “Drive to Give” fundraising campaign with the goal of donating 1.5 million meals to people in need this holiday season by raising $150,000 for Feeding America.
The campaign, running from November 1 through December 31, will feature Monro’s seven retail tire and automotive service brands across 32 states. These include Monro Auto Service and Tire Centers, Tire Choice Auto Service Centers, Mr. Tire, Ken Towery’s Tire and Auto Care, Tire Warehouse, Tire Barn Warehouse, and Car-X Tire and Auto.
Monro is encouraging its teammates, guests, and community members to donate $1, $5, $10, or an amount of their choosing to the campaign. They can visit one of Monro’s seven participating brand locations to make a contribution, or they can visit Monro’s donation page at https://www.monro.com/drive-to-give/. Guests also have the opportunity to add a donation to their invoice after a service or repair.
Purchase is not required.
“The ‘Drive to Give’ campaign is really about neighbors helping neighbors,” said Monro’s president and CEO Mike Broderick. “Monro cares about the communities where we operate. With this initiative, the most vulnerable residents in our communities across the country will receive the benefit.”
Feeding America, a global not-for-profit organization, will direct 90% of the donations raised in each store to the local Feeding America food bank in that area. Every dollar will provide at least ten meals to people in our communities this holiday season.
“One in nine Americans may not know where they will get their next meal,” said Feeding America Director of New Partnerships, Doug Montgomery. “Support from partners like Monro is critical in the fight against hunger, and this commitment will make a tangible impact by helping provide food for people who need it.”
