Crash Hunger - $1.00 Donation Pads

In an effort to address the fight against hunger in America, the CIF has started the Crash Hunger project to raise awareness within the industry. This effort will focus on two aspects to make a difference: one, to raise funds to donate to current efforts, and two, to promote volunteerism at local food banks by those in the collision repair industry.

To Purchase a Donation Pad (50 sheets at $1.00 each) for $50.00 that you can use in your collision repair facility or other business, call the office at: 804.427.6982

 

These pages can be displayed on the wall of your business to show your support of the project for each donor!

CIF is proud to have the support of FinishMaster in promoting this project to their customers (See Press Releases for more information)
