Join the movement to end hunger.
In September 2025, Ford launched the Great Ford Dealer Food Drive, a global initiative designed to leverage our collective strength and innovation around the world to alleviate hunger. The results speak for themselves: together with our Charity Partners, Ford customers came together and donated across 31 markets, impacting an estimated 1.7 million lives. This year, our goal is simple: bigger and better!
This isn’t just about collecting donations; it’s about making history.
We’re inviting you, our valued customers, to visit our Car Showrooms or Transit Centres in either Basingstoke, Farnborough or Wokingham throughout September to donate food and essential non-perishable items for those in need, on behalf of the Basingstoke, Farnborough and Wokingham Trussel Trust Foodbanks.
The most needed items are non-perishable foods such as:
- Tinned Tuna, Chicken or Salmon
- Tinned fruits or vegetables
- Peanut butter/other spreads
- Dried Pasta
- Brown or white rice
- Tinned soups or stews
- Cereals
- Tinned tomatoes
This isn’t just about collecting donations; it’s about making history. With your involvement, we believe we can achieve a record-breaking food and non-perishable items drive; imagine the impact we can have if every person participates.
If you are not local to Basingstoke, Farnborough or Wokingham, feel free to drop your donation off at any of our other Group 1 Ford dealerships and we will gladly collect at the end of the event.
Thank you in advance from everyone at Group 1 Ford.
