Chrysler Corporation returns for its third year as a supporting partner of the Chicago Auto Show Food Drive. Last year, several Dodge Grand Caravans were packed to the gunwales in the McCormick Center atrium as Chrysler became the first automotive sponsor of the Chicago Auto Show's Food.

"At Chrysler, we believe the auto show provides us an opportunity to demonstrate the great cars and trucks we have to meet customer's needs and the kind of exciting driving experiences they can have in our vehicles through our test tracks. But it is also an opportunity for us to showcase the kind of company we are and Chrysler is an American company that is dedicated to serving the communities in which we live and work," said Lewis Scott, Director of Chrysler's Midwest Business Center. "We are so proud to be involved with the Christian Industrial League and their great work to benefit the people of Chicago."

Chicago Auto Show Food Drive"Over the past 14 years the Chicago Auto Show has collected nearly 250,000 pounds of food for the Safe Haven Foundation and we believe that the food drive is an important element of the work we do each year in putting on the auto show in this great community," said John Phelan, Chairman of the 2010 Chicago Auto Show.

"The food collected during these three days at the Chicago Auto Show allow us to feed the homeless and poor of this city through the winter, and it means a tremendous amount to the sustainability of our organization," said Executive Director of the Safe Haven Foundation.

A Safe Haven was founded on a simple vision . . . to create recovery home living that champions the quality of life that surrounds people. Today, we are one of the most effective and innovative providers of recovery home services in the Midwest.
