At McGrath, community isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something we show up for. And during our February 16–20, 2026 Food Drive, our teams and customers once again proved what’s possible when we come together for a common cause.
Thanks to the generosity of our employees, customers, and community partners, we’re proud to share the official totals from this year’s food drive.

Why It Matters
Food insecurity continues to impact communities across Iowa. By partnering with local food banks and encouraging donations at each of our dealership locations, we’re able to directly support organizations working on the front lines every day.
Initiatives like this remind us that being a dealership group means more than selling and servicing vehicles — it means serving our neighbors.
Thank You for Making a Difference
To every team member who organized, promoted, and collected donations — and to every customer and community member who contributed — thank you.
Because of you, 1,389 meals will help make a meaningful difference for families across Eastern Iowa.
We’re honored to support the communities that support us, and we look forward to continuing this tradition in the years ahead.
