Serving Our Community by Providing Families in Need with a Thanksgiving Meal

The team here at Central City Toyota comes to work every day to help people throughout the community find the vehicles they need, or repair and maintain the vehicles they love. While this is what we happily do for a living, we’re also proud to serve the community in a variety of other ways. On November 22 nd, 2021, we joined together with The Enterprise Center, Walnut Hill Neighbors, and our partner dealership, Ardmore Toyota, to help feed those in need this holiday season. In preparation for the Thanksgiving holiday, we wanted to make sure that families throughout the area had a meal to enjoy. With this in mind, turkeys and everything else needed for a Thanksgiving meal were collected and given out to over 300 families at Max Paul Park this past November. Giving Back to Our Community Everyone on the Central City Toyota team recognizes that everyone needs help at different points in their life, and we want to help in every way we can. That means we help our customers to find and care for the right cars based on their specific needs every day. During special holidays like Thanksgiving, that means providing a meal to families in need. By working together with other local businesses and dozens of volunteers, we hope we were able to make this holiday a little brighter for everyone. We know that having the opportunity to serve the community is deeply meaningful to the whole team here at Central City Toyota. As we look forward to continuing the holiday season and entering the new year, we hope to be able to continue to work with the overall community to make sure that everyone has what they need, whether that concerns a new Toyota or otherwise.

Hands joining in circle

Central City Toyota Partners With Ronald McDonald House

At Central City Toyota, we pride ourselves on being more than a car dealership — we’re an active member of our local community in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That’s why we have formed a philanthropic partnership with the Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House and How Central City Gives Back The Ronald McDonald House is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support families of critically ill children. The Philadelphia location provides everything from lodging to transportation and meals to families whose kids are being treated at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. In addition to this program, the nonprofit hosts the Ronald McDonald camp for children with cancer and their siblings. It also provides oral health care services to children in the North Philadelphia area via the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile unit. This service is part of a partnership with St. Christopher’s Foundation for Children. Every three years, Central City Toyota gives back to this great cause with the donation of two Toyota Sienna minivans. This tradition began in 1985, initiated by Central City Toyota owner Max Paul. Since taxicabs are often expensive, the Ronald McDonald House needed a more affordable mode of transportation so they could transport families to and from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. In addition to this donation, Central City Toyota ensures technology experts train volunteers on how to operate the Sienna minivans and take advantage of its cutting-edge technologies. If you’re in the market for a reliable vehicle, don’t just choose any car dealership — choose a local business that truly cares about the community. Contact us for more information.
