Employees of Wade Ford, located in Smyrna, have been collecting donations of clothing and money for Atlanta Mission’s shelter for women and children, My Sister’s Place, as part of their employee community outreach program.
“It’s important for local businesses to get involved and we appreciate their donations,” said Don Wilkinson, manager of partnerships at the Atlanta Mission. “They will be used to help provide food for the 800 meals we serve every day at My Sister’s House.”
Wade Ford is committed to giving back as Ewing says that community support is an important dealership priority, particularly at this time of year.
