ABC Investments & Management Co., the management company of the Hilton Garden Inn and Comfort Inn & Suites in Statesville, in partnership with the Statesville Convention & Visitors Bureau (SCVB) and Statesville Civic Center, is thrilled to announce a Community Food Drive aimed at supporting the Fifth Street Ministries Food Box Program and Community Kitchen. The food drive will coincide with the annual Celebrate Statesville Tourism Summit, scheduled to take place at the Civic Center on Wednesday, July 26th.
In response to the growing need for assistance in our community, organizers are encouraging all attendees of the Celebrate Statesville Tourism Summit to contribute to the food drive by bringing canned goods to the event. So that the community can also participate, the food drive will commence on Monday, July 24th, and run through Friday, July 28th.
The Celebrate Statesville Tourism Summit, hosted by the Statesville Convention & Visitors Bureau, is an annual event at the Statesville Civic Center that brings together tourism professionals, local businesses, and community leaders to celebrate the vibrant tourism industry in our City. This year, the Summit serves as a platform to not only highlight the accomplishments and potential of our local tourism industry but also to make a positive impact by addressing a pressing community need. The Community Food Drive represents a collective effort by the Hilton Garden Inn, ABC Investments & Management Co., the SCVB, and the Statesville Civic Center to foster community engagement, encourage philanthropy, and address the challenges faced by those experiencing food insecurity.
