Ford Thailand and 51 Dealers Deliver 13+ Tons of Food – More Than 24,500 Meals Donated Through Global Food Drive

As part of the global project ‘Ford Food Drive’ – the world's largest auto dealer food drive. Ford Thailand joined forces with its dealer network across the country mobilizing to deliver more than 13 tons (29,415 pounds) of rice, drinking water and dried food to communities facing food shortages due to various local challenges to collectively create a greater positive global impact. The effort, led by 51 dealerships nationwide, is estimated to have provided over 24,500 meals. – based on Feeding America’s guideline that 1.2 pounds of donated food equals one meal.

• Ford Ek, Rayong province, donated a total of 5 tons (approx. 11,023 pounds) of rice and worked with community leaders from Tap Ma Municipality and Choeng Noen Municipality in Rayong Province in distributing rice to those in need.
