Fill a Ford, Help Impact Lives: Join Us in the World’s Largest Dealer Food Drive

September 10th, 2025 by

This September, Grappone Ford is joining Ford dealers across the globe in something bigger than cars and trucks. We are uniting to fight hunger. As part of Ford’s Building Together initiative, our team is participating in the World’s Largest Dealer Food Drive, a global effort to collect more than 1 million pounds of food for families in need.

Here in New Hampshire, all donations collected at Grappone Ford will directly support the New Hampshire Food Bank, helping to provide healthy, nourishing meals to neighbors across our state.

How It Works

Between September 15 and 25, we invite you to stop by our showroom and drop off non-perishable food items. Look for our designated Ford collection vehicle, where donations will be gathered before delivery to the NH Food Bank.

The Food Bank’s most-needed items:

  • Fruits: canned pineapple, mangoes, apples, pears, or applesauce

  • Vegetables: canned beans, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, peas, or corn

  • Proteins: canned tuna, chicken, peanut butter, beans, lentils, or mixed nuts

  • Grains: brown or wild rice, quinoa, rolled oats, whole wheat pasta, crackers

  • Other essentials: low-sodium soups, herbs and spices, shelf-stable milk or non-dairy alternatives, and 100% fruit juice

Please note: donations must be non-perishable and non-glass.

We know that some people prefer to make a monetary contribution. If you want to give by check, please make it payable to the New Hampshire Food Bank. We are happy to deliver these donations along with the food items.

Why It Matters

Food insecurity is a reality for thousands of families right here in the Granite State. By collecting at least 400 pounds of food per dealership, Ford dealers nationwide including Grappone Ford are coming together to make an extraordinary impact.

This is not just a drive. It is a movement. Together, we can fill vehicles, provide meals, and support families in our community.
