JM Family Enterprises Inc. and Southeast Toyota Distributors Recognize Hunger Action Month with #ToyotaFightsHunger Social Media Campaign

In honor of Hunger Action Month, an awareness campaign established by Feeding America in 2008 which is celebrated each September, JM Family and its subsidiary Southeast Toyota Distributors created #ToyotaFightsHunger. This campaign leveraged relationships with area social media influencers to support local Feeding America chapters throughout the company’s footprint.

“JM Family and its subsidiaries have long focused a portion of their corporate giving efforts to fighting food insecurity. When the pandemic hit, this need was even more pressing as so many families struggled to make ends meet,” said Lauren Fyke, public relations representative, JM Family. “The Toyota Fights Hunger campaign allowed us to support that area of giving while also showcasing the capabilities of our amazing Toyota products, as well as the caring nature of the brand and our Toyota partners.”

Four influencers were selected to participate in the campaign, each receiving a $1,000 gift card to shop for non-perishable and shelf-stable food items, a check for $1,000 to be presented to the Feeding America chapter, and a week-long Toyota vehicle loan to use to deliver the donations.

Campaign participants were encouraged to post about their deliveries on social media using the hashtag #ToyotaFightsHunger.

“This is just an appreciation post to [Toyota] for letting me drive the 2021 #CorollaHatchback for a week and for a cause bigger than myself: getting food and funds donated to [Feeding South Florida]. Feeling grateful to have been a part of #ToyotaFightsHunger,” posted social media influencer Alejandra Ratto of Ft. Lauderdale Foodies.

Campaign participants included:

• Alejandra Ratto of Ft. Lauderdale Foodies in support of Feeding South Florida
• April Erhard of April Golightly in support of Feeding Palm Beach County
• Erin Moody of Moody Wife in support of Feeding the Gulf Coast
• Megan Eastburn of Megan Rae of Light in support of Feeding Northeast Florida
