American Truck Showroom employees have opened up their hearts to host a Thanksgiving food drive for a local children’s shelter in Gulfport, Mississippi. Donations were accepted until yesterday and were delivered at that time. The American Truck Showrooms department that is found to have donated the most items will then be rewarded with a company lunch.

When describing the same food drive last year, Ralph Cox, the customer service representatives’ manager for American Truck Showroom said, “They had shown us the empty cupboards and refrigerators from where they simply ran out of food and the food bank was dry. They were being subsidized by the county jail until their donations came in. The food was bologna meat (three different colors), cheese singles and a few apples.”

Certainly, this is a lovely idea from the American Truck Showroom Gulfport and one that should be applauded.
