Milton Ruben Toyota is proud to be presenting a brand new Toyota Sienna to Golden Harvest Food Bank next week. The delivery and kick-off celebration will take place at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, November 7th at Milton Ruben Toyota, 3514 Washington Road in Augusta, GA.

Golden Harvest Food Bank was one of 500 finalists in Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program, which has awarded vehicles to 100 nonprofit organizations based on votes from the public. Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program showcased five, non-profit organizations each day for 100 days on Toyota’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/toyota. Visitors to the page voted once a day for the organization that they believed was most deserving of a new Toyota vehicle. Golden Harvest was one of the five organizations highlighted on day 48 of voting—Saturday, June 25th.

Golden Harvest assists feeding the hungry through more than 400 partner agencies & direct service programs. In doing so, its employees travel on a daily basis, visiting its partner agencies and those who participate in Golden Harvest’s feeding programs. With more than 40 full-time employees and five facilities, which cover 30 counties in two states, gas and mileage continue to increase. Golden Harvest will now be better equipped to give back the necessity many take advantage of — food. At the end of the day, Golden Harvest provides hope for the communities it serves by feeding the hungry.

Golden Harvest Food Bank’s mission is to end hunger in our 30-county service area in Georgia and South Carolina.
