AUSTINTOWN, Ohio – Greenwood Chevrolet has launched its Extra Mile Food Drive to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley.
The initiative includes collecting both monetary donations and nonperishable food items, which will be loaded into the beds of three pickup trucks. The food drive is underway and will run through Nov. 20.
Greenwood Chevrolet is encouraging contributions from employees, customers and community partners. In 2024, through combined monetary and food donations, the dealership helped Second Harvest serve more than 128,000 meals in the community, a news release states. This year, it hopes to exceed that mark and provide more than 130,000 meals.
“It means so much to our team to be able to make a difference like this in the Valley,” said Sean Greenwood, fixed operations director at Greenwood Chevrolet. “We encourage everyone to chip in and drop off whatever donation they can. We’re so proud of last year’s efforts and are dedicated to breaking that mark this year – but we’re going to need help from our team and the community.”
The effort is being led by Tracy Briden, business manager, and Taylor Tomsich of the service team, with support from Jim Conlin, new car manager; Samantha Bianco, executive assistant; and Jordan Greenwood, human resources.
Donations can be made at Greenwood’s Austintown location, 4695 Mahoning Ave.
