A Bowen Scarff Ford community food drive, in partnership with Maple Valley Food Bank
We filled the van — 768 lbs and counting
Thank you, Kent. Our September drive brought in 768 pounds of food for Maple Valley Food Bank's Rural Mobile Market — well past our 500-pound goal. The van launched October 1 and is now bringing a walk-through grocery to neighbors who can't easily reach the food bank. It needs restocking every week, so we're keeping the drive going through November.
Drop off at 1157 Central Ave N, Kent, WA 98032 — showroom or service drive, any time we're open, through November 30.
Distance is the barrier. The van is the fix.
Transportation and distance are two of the biggest obstacles between rural families and the food bank's shelves. A mobile market removes both — but only if there's food on board.
Hear from the team that stocked the van, and see the mobile market before its October 1 launch.
Three ways to keep the van stocked
We're collecting through November 30. Every pound still counts toward Ford's national total.
