Hyundai Motor America Presents $5,000 Donation Check to HCC Food Pantry

HOLYOKE — Representatives from Hyundai Motor America visited Holyoke Community College (HCC) last week to deliver a $5,000 check to benefit the college’s food pantry.

This is the fifth consecutive year Hyundai Motor America has donated to the HCC food pantry, bringing its total donations to $32,150. This is in addition to donations made by local auto dealer Gary Rome, owner of Gary Rome Hyundai and a member of the HCC Foundation board of directors, whose efforts on behalf of HCC brought the Thrive Center and Food Pantry to the attention of the Hyundai corporate offices in California.

The Thrive Center manages the college’s food pantry and provides services, such as food and housing assistance, that help address students’ basic needs.
