(NAPSI)-Every year, many senior citizens become homebound or ill, experiencing difficulty in completing day-to-day tasks such as grocery shopping. To better serve the elderly, non-profit organizations, such as Citymeals-on-Wheels in New York City, deliver much-needed food to seniors each day.
To honor Citymeals-on-Wheels for their dedication to public service, Dodge has donated two new 2004 Durangos to help deliver meals, a first-of-its-kind partnership between an automotive manufacturer and a non-profit meal provider.
During a recent ceremony, Joe Eberhardt, Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing for DaimlerChrysler, actress Angie Harmon and her husband Jason Sehorn of the St. Louis Rams handed over the keys to the new sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) to Citymeals-on-Wheels representatives. After the ceremony, Harmon and Sehorn helped load the SUVs and deliver meals.
"Citymeals-on-Wheels is an organization that, like Dodge, believes in grabbing life by the horns," said Eberhardt. "The all-new Durango, with its big size and smooth ride, will make life a little easier for the volunteers and those they serve."
The new Durangos are seven inches longer, three inches taller and three inches wider than the previous model, providing enough room to hold up to 200 meals at one time. In addition, the vehicle's improved fuel efficiency will allow workers to deliver a day's worth of meals on just one tank of gas. Prior to the donation of the Dodge Durangos, Citymeals-on-Wheels used unreliable vans that often broke down during deliveries.
