DeLuca Toyota Food Distribution at The Frank DeLuca YMCA

DeLuca Toyota presented a $5,000 donation to Interfaith Emergency Services on Tuesday, June 9th. This money will support relief efforts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The fund helps pay utilities and rent and other essentials. Frank DeLuca, President/Owner of DeLuca Toyota presented the donation to Interfaith Emergency Services, CEO Karla Grimsely and the Interfaith Emergency Services Board of Directors. “Because of this crisis, this pandemic, we’ve seen so many working-class even managers, people in upper-level positions who have lost their income...and they're trying to figure out how to pay for their essentials: utilities, rent, mortgage and keep themselves housed. We’ve been trying to give 2 months at a time for those who qualify and they have to prove to us they did lose employment due to COVID, most of them are showing up with letters from their employees or we’ll get the furlough notice. And the relief on their face when we hand them a check to pay their rent is just so heartwarming. There’s going to be families whom the burden is going to be lifted because of this money. I wish you could see their faces. It’s really incredible and we appreciate it so much. These are people who are not used to asking for help. It’s very humbling for them to even come in and they’ll tell us that they put it off until they were desperate. The desperation leaves when we hand them a check." - Karla Grimsley, Interfaith Emergency Services Frank DeLuca and DeLuca Toyota have a 42-year history of giving back to the community.
