Earl Stewart Toyota of North Palm Beach joins Homeless Advisory Board Food Drive

Drive continues through Holiday Season...

Employees and customers of Earl Stewart Toyota of North Palm Beach donated dozens of bags of non-perishable food to the CROS Ministries Food Bank and the Alpert Jewish Family & Children's Service Kosher Food Bank as part of the Palm Beach County Homeless Advisory Board's food drive during the commemoration of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week in Palm Beach County.

The effort is part of the county's Homeless Advisory Board's Ten2End initiative to educate and involve the public in its 10 Year Plan to End Homelessness in Palm Beach County. Addressing hunger is an important element in solving the problem of homelessness.

The food drive continues through the holiday season. The public can pick up food collection bags at Earl Stewart Toyota of North Palm Beach, located on U.S. 1, just 1/4 mile south of Northlake Blvd, or simply drop off their food donations at the dealership between now and Christmas.
