Load Up for Common Good

September 1–30, 2026

Join the Ford Building Together Global Food Drive

J.C. Lewis Ford is proud to participate in Ford’s 2026 Global Food Drive. Throughout September, we’re inviting our customers, employees, local businesses, and community members to help us Load Up for Common Good by donating non-perishable food items.

A Ford truck will be stationed inside the showroom at each J.C. Lewis Ford dealership, ready to be filled with donations for members of our community who need them most.

Bring a donation. Help fill the Ford. Help feed our neighbors.

A Global Effort With a Local Impact

Last year, Ford dealers across more than 30 countries came together to collect over two million pounds of food for local food banks and pantries.

This September, J.C. Lewis Ford is helping build on that momentum—and we need your help. Every can, box, and bag of food brings us closer to filling our collection trucks and supporting individuals and families in our local communities.

Help Us Fill Every Truck

Whether you donate one item or an entire box, your contribution matters. Stop by your nearest J.C. Lewis Ford dealership anytime during September and place your donation in the collection truck inside the showroom.

You can also help by inviting friends, family members, coworkers, and local organizations to participate. Together, we can fill every truck and make a meaningful difference for our neighbors.
