The Central Indiana Region of the Porsche Club of America (CIR-PCA) board of directors recently voted to donate $1,000 to each of five foodbanks in Central Indiana.
The club has a long history of giving, with well over $100,000 committed to philanthropic causes in just the last 10 years. The CIR-PCA board met last week in an emergency session to discuss the current crisis for the needy in the state. Indiana is facing record unemployment.
Club President Rob Fike said, “As we continue to navigate through these unprecedented times, things are constantly changing, as you know. While some of us are only mildly affected by the epidemic, many of our Hoosier brothers and sisters are horribly affected. Either by contracting the virus itself or by the financial devastation it is producing by the lockdown and job loss. People that never, ever expected to have problems feeding their families now find themselves in dire straits. By our donations, we feel that this just again reinforces the fact that our Porsche family is made up of the best people anywhere! We will get through this together. Remember, it’s not just the cars, it’s the people.”
The recipients of this first round of food bank donations will be:
- Indianapolis: Gleeners Food Bank
- Lafayette: Food Finders Food Bank
- Muncie: Second Harvest Food Bank
- Fort Wayne: Community Harvest Food Bank
- Bloomington: Hoosier Hills Food Bank
The CIR-PCA board will continue to assess the needs of local communities as the pandemic progresses.
