Subaru of Cranbrook sales manager Huy Nguyen hands Jerry Oviatt, manager of the Cranbrook Food Bank, a cheque for $2,500 for his organization’s continued support of local families that have challenges getting enough to eat.

Nguyen (pronounced “wee newin”), who joined the small automotive retailer in September, is a strong advocate of community support. Even as a relative newcomer to Cranbrook, he quickly arranged a two-part campaign to help fund the Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce annual Christmas Turkey Drive as well as the Cranbrook Food Bank.

The first part of the campaign saw Subaru of Cranbrook donate 100 turkeys as well as 250 lbs. of non-perishable food. Additionally, Nguyen outlined an even greater goal to provide $250 for each new Subaru sold during the month of December, up to maximum of $2,500. All told, Subaru of Cranbrook and its customers donated more than $5,000 to needy area families.
