For the past five years, Craftsman Collision has hosted the Make A Dent Food Drive in partnership with Overwaitea Foods, benefiting The Salvation Army.\u00a0 Thus far, the campaign effort has raised an overwhelming $148,000 for The Salvation Army in British Columbia.<\/p>\n
The day long food drive event has proven to be an anticipated and highly successful event year after year \u2013 raising $33,862 in dollars and in-kind donations in the 2013 Make a Dent campaign alone. Craftsman Collision generously pledges to match every item donated \u2013 for every can donated by a participating customer, two cans will make it onto a shelf at a local Salvation Army Community & Family Services operation.<\/p>\n
The Make a Dent Food Drive is held at 12 participating Save\u2013On\u2013Foods and PriceSmart locations and continues to grow across the province each year. The Make a Dent event encourages customers to donate food items or cash, supporting the work of The Salvation Army and those individuals and families in need. All donations stay in the community in which they were donated.<\/p>\n
Due to the efforts and support of Craftsman Collision through the food drive, this allows The Salvation Army\u2019s Vancouver Community & Family Services to provide food hampers to over 700 families.<\/p>\n
