Lovin’ Spoonfuls is one of 100 beneficent organizations given new vehicles by Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program

Thanks to online voters, the new Tundra pickup won through Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program in 2013 will be a big help to the beneficent work of the Lovin’ Spoonfuls, a non-profit that rescues food that would otherwise be thrown away by grocery stores, farmers’ markets and restaurants, and donates it to 27 food banks, shelters and organizations with immediate needs. With the new Tundra pickup, the organization will be able to rescue an additional 5,000 pounds of food every week.”As we are a direct distribution system, with no storage facility, a vehicle is the only way we can expand our work. We are grateful to Toyota to be part of such an inclusive, generous program” said Lauren Palumbo, operations director of Lovin’ Spoonfuls.Motivated by the labor and enthusiasm of non-profit organizations, thousands of people across the country visit the Internet every day to vote for the non-profits they consider most deserving of a new car.
”As another successful 100 Cars for Good comes to a close, it’s just the beginning for the charities who have new vehicles to broaden and support their good work” said Michael Rouse,VP of diversity, philanthropy and community affairs for Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. “We are proud to give back to so many inspiring groups and strengthen our commitment to supporting communities around the country”.To see the complete list of winners, visit {100 cars for good;http://www.100carsforgood.com}.
