This September is Ford's Global Caring Month and as part of that, The Great Ford Dealer Food Drive will be launched. This initiative is designed to leverage the collective strength and innovation of Ford dealers globally, to generate food donations and help to alleviate hunger. Gates Ford are proud to be supporting the campaign locally, across our dealerships in Essex, Hertfordshire and Greater London.
All of our dealerships will be taking part and making a difference to their local communities. Find your nearest Gates dealership.
There will be food donation points, as follows, from 10th-25th September:
| Gates Ford Harlow | Community Embrace UK |
| Gates Ford Stevenage | Stevenage Vineyard - Foodshed |
| Gates Ford St Albans | St Albans Community Pantry |
| Gates Ford Waltham Cross | 3Food4U |
| Gates Ford Woodford | Redbridge Foodbank |
We’re inviting you, our valued customers, to visit your local Gates dealership between 10th – 25th September 2025 to help us gather food and essential, non-perishable items for those in need, on behalf of the local charity partners we are teaming up with throughout the month.

If you are able to help in any way, your support will make a big difference to those in need.
At Gates Ford, we have been involved with the local community for many years now. With our latest community initiative, we are aiming to collect approx. 100kg of food at each of our dealerships, contributing 500kg in total - but we need your help! This isn’t just about collecting donations; it’s about making history. With your involvement, we believe we can achieve a record-breaking food drive!
If you would like to make a donation, simply visit your local Gates Ford dealership between 10th and 25th September; we will have a dedicated vehicle on display and we are looking to Fill the Ford! Some come along and help us if you can.
