Employees of Firestone Complete Auto Care™ Orlando District

Firestone stores across the U.S. are partnering with Meals On Wheels Association of America to raise $100,000 in their quest to help end senior hunger. In addition to supporting on a national level, the Orlando district decided to take it a step further to support the local community. “I feel privileged to work for a company that allows employees to reach out and donate some of our time to such a wonderful cause and organization,” said Will Highers, assistant district manager of Firestone Orlando District. “The experience was one of great humility and it made me feel grateful for what I have.  I would encourage everyone to, at the very least, donate just one day of your busy life to see and feel what I experienced.”

Every day, the Seniors First Meals On Wheels program delivers more than 900 meals to hungry and homebound seniors residing in Orange County.

“We are grateful to Firestone employees for volunteering their time today,” said Marsha Lorenz, president of Seniors First. “Meals On Wheels is one of the programs that helps keep our clients living independently in their homes. Firestone volunteers not only delivered a meal with proper nutrition, but they provided the seniors with safety checks and an opportunity to socialize.”

Thank you Firestone for delivering meals and smiles, and for making a difference to so many seniors!
