Hyundai Motor America and Premier Hyundai of Seaside recently donated $20,000 to the Food Bank for Monterey County to support hunger relief initiatives in the local community. The donation is a part of Hyundai’s corporate social responsibility initiative, Hyundai Hope, which seeks to uplift the community by supporting programs that address food insecurity. A ceremonial check was presented to the organization in Carmel Valley, California.

“At Hyundai, our vision is Progress for Humanity, which means giving back to the communities where we live and work,” said Brandon Ramirez, director, corporate social responsibility, Hyundai Motor North America. “Food insecurity is a major issue that many families face, so Hyundai is proud to continue our partnership with Food Bank for Monterey County who is working to end this crisis in the community and provide nutritious meals to people in need.”

The Food Bank for Monterey County is committed to ending hunger and transforming the health of the community through good nutrition, serving as a central hub for providing high-quality, fresh produce, and educational resources to over 160 local nonprofit network members.

“Our vision is to move from one of the hungriest to one of the healthiest counties in all of California,” said Melissa Kendrick, chief executive officer and executive director, Food Bank for Monterey County. “With the generous support of corporate sponsors like Hyundai, together, we can continue to nourish the 1 in 3 children and 1 in 4 residents we currently serve.”
