GEORGETOWN, DE, October 9, 2007 – After an overwhelming initial response from customers, MTOclean of Sussex County has decided to extend the end date of their local food drive to support the Food Bank of Delaware. MTOclean will now be collecting canned goods and other nonperishables from all residential and commercial customers up until the Thanksgiving Holiday. “In a community like Georgetown, it is extremely important we all do our part for those less fortunate,” stated Sandy Connelly, owner of MTOclean of Sussex County. “My staff and customers alike have shown great enthusiasm in helping the Food Bank replenish their supplies – I just want to be sure everyone who wants to has the opportunity to participate.” A non-profit agency, the mission of the Food Bank of Delaware is to create a community free from hunger by providing hunger awareness and action in the Greater Delaware Community. Operating since 1981, the Food Bank of Delaware distributes food to the hungry through over 350 partner non-profits. The Food Bank distributes over 10 million pounds of food statewide on an annual basis, but unfortunately great need still exists. “Restocking the Food Bank shelves is a critical and continuous process,” stated Dana Johnston, Community Relations Manager for the Food Bank of Delaware. “We are thrilled MTOclean has offered to take part in giving so generously to help us fight hunger in the Greater Delaware Community.” “When it comes to such a significant global problem, we all feel a bit helpless sometimes,” stated Connelly. “This is an exciting opportunity for us to partner with our customers, the Food Bank of Delaware and the local community to make a difference.” MTOclean of Sussex County is located at 4 W. Market St., Georgetown, DE 19947.
