CHRONICLE STAFF REPORT

The Ford Boys and Ford Gyrls Car Club will be hosting its second annual food drive on May 13 at the North Side shopping center, 3505 Patterson Ave.  The organization will be collecting non-perishable items to be donated to a local homeless shelter. As a way to say thank you, the club will be giving away free hot dogs to those who donate.

Club President Antonio Clark says he will be donating the food to a homeless shelter that is very low on food and may have to close their doors if not for the donation from the car club.  He says he and they club enjoys giving back to the community whenever they can.

“Last year we did our first food drive and raised a lot of food for the homeless,” he said.  “They were really appreciative of the donation.  We started this because we wanted to give back.”

“Our purpose is to offer the highest quality of leadership through tireless dedication, charitable actions and positive judgment for the community and we figured a food drive would be a great way to go about it,” he said.

Clark says he wants to shed light on the fact that car clubs are doing positive things in the community.  He says they do a community event each month to give back and look out for the community when they can.
