Sarah Fisher Racing will kick off the 2008 holiday season with a “12 Days of Christmas Food Drive” to support the St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry in Indianapolis.
The SFR Race Shop, O’Gara’s Irish Pub and Lamping Cleaners will serve as collection sites for non-perishable food donations from Dec. 1-12. Cash and food donations will also be accepted through the US Mail to the SFR race shop.
“I’m a big part of this community, and I’m lucky to have the opportunity to put on a program which will enable the citizens of Indianapolis to join me and the team in helping feed the homeless and those in need,” said team owner and driver Sarah Fisher. “We heard that St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry was low on inventory, and with this being our off-season what better time to donate some extra help to those in need. I’m a firm believer in being thankful for what I’ve been given and never taking for granted the opportunities I’ve been presented with. Our community came together in droves back in May during our time of need, and for that we are forever grateful. We know and appreciate the people of Indianapolis are committed to giving back regardless of the situation.”
St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry feeds nearly 3,000 per week, with the winter months serving as their peak season.
“Everybody knows about the food shortages as of late, and we appreciate the willingness of Sarah Fisher Racing in helping join the fight to help alleviate some of the shortage,” said Don Striegel, volunteer coordinator at St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry. “With the help of SFR and the Indianapolis community, we won’t have to turn away any clients or reduce the amount we are able to feed each week. We are honored with the support in helping us maintain a good variety of supply.”
