More than 85 food banks across 37 states will be able to restock their shelves to ensure at-risk kids do not go hungry this summer thanks to Caliber Collision’s 2019 Rhythm Restoration Food Drive collecting over $900,000 in donations or 5.4 million meals from April through May. Caliber’s 20,000 teammates were inspired to serve their local communities by raising cash and food donations through fundraising events such as car shows, motorcycle rallies, golf tournaments, dunk tanks and other giving opportunities. “We set a lofty goal of raising five million meals in 2019. Our teammates challenged themselves, our business partners, friends in the community and each other by collecting more than 5.4 million meals across more than 1,100 locations,” said Steve Grimshaw, Caliber Collision’s chief executive officer. Over the past eight years, Caliber’s annual food drive has become one of the largest food drives in the U.S.
