Service Department Meets Service Project

As part of their Thanks-for-Giving campaign, Karl Flammer Ford, located on US 19 in Tarpon Springs, donated a portion of their November sales to benefit the Tarpon Springs Shepherd Center.

Karl Flammer Ford has been a family owned and operated dealership since 1964. During the month of November they committed $5 for each tire sale and $25 for each service contract. Fred W. Howard accepted the check for $2,889 on behalf of the organization.

“Karl Flammer Ford has been a consistent supporter of the outreach programs of the Tarpon Springs Shepherd Center and we are very grateful for their longtime commitment to families and older adults in our community,” said Ada Del-Gais, Executive Director for the Tarpon Springs Shepherd Center.

The Tarpon Springs Shepherd Center has been serving the local community since 1974 and is now one of the largest food distribution centers in Northern Pinellas County, distributing over 750,000 pounds of food in 2016. The Center delivered groceries to 1180 homebound families and served 26,500 meals through the community kitchen partnerships last year alone.

The Shepherd Center Community Enrichment program also connects those in need with resources such as medical care and health insurance, youth and adult employment programs, veteran assistance, counselling and educational services, and caregiver support.
