Toyota Gives Kids Against Hunger a Free Tundra

In yet another example of Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program, the Kids Against Hunger of Northwest Oklahoma charity received a Toyota Tundra double cab, 4×4 pickup. They had been borrowing vehicles.

Below is a video about the program.

The Cherokee-based charity uses the pickup to pull a trailer full of food supplies down the road for volunteers to package. The food is then delivered in the form of packaged meals to Oklahoma food banks and to ship worldwide.

The Kids Against Hunger charity won the truck as part of the 100 Cars for Good program. In all 500 nonprofits across the U.S. were selected and grouped into sets of five for each of the 100 days. The contest then was to see which nonprofit garnered the most votes on its day.

Besides getting the pickup, Toyota also gave a platinum extended service contract which is good for 6 years or 100,000 miles.

Kids Against Hunger is a humanitarian food aid organzation. Its mission is to reduce the number of hungry children in the United States and feed starving children throughout the world. The meals it provides are highly nutritious and sometimes life-saving to those in need.

The nonprofit hosts mobile packaging events by loading supplies into a trailer and taking it to a sponsoring group where volunteers package the meals. More than 10,000 meals are donated each month to local food banks. It also sends food to Mexico, Haiti, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Liberia and the Philippines.

Since Kids Against Hunger started in December 2007, it has packaged more than 2 million meals.

Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good program has helped community nonprofits grow through the donation of its vehicles. For the second straight year, Toyota will award 100 vehicles over the course of 100 days to 100 U.S. nonprofits, with winners selected through public voting on the Toyota Facebook page according to Toyota.
