Ford Global Food Drive
Ford Global Food Drive at Blue Springs Ford
This September, we’re doing something extraordinary—and we need your help to make it happen. Ford Dealers around the world are coming together once again to defend and beat our own record for the “World’s Largest Auto Dealer Food Drive.” That’s more than just a title; it’s proof of what happens when a global network unites behind a single, powerful cause: fighting hunger in the communities we call home.
Continuing the momentum of Ford Building Together, this initiative turns our dealership into a beacon of support for local families. As part of this worldwide effort, Blue Springs Ford is proud to serve as a local collection point to ensure our neighbors get the support they need.
Our Mission: 3 Million Pounds Worldwide
This year, Ford Dealers are raising the bar with an ambitious goal to collect over 3 million pounds of food across 33 countries. Hunger touches every community, and together, we can turn simple donations into a massive, tangible difference.
Every non-perishable item brought into our showroom helps load up a Ford for the common good and supports families right here in our hometown.
Supporting the Community Services League
All donations collected at Blue Springs Ford throughout the drive will directly benefit the Blue Springs Community Services League (CSL). CSL works tirelessly to assist local families with food security, financial wellness, and crisis intervention services, helping create a stronger, more resilient community.
