AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Oct. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Faurecia team members answered the call to make a difference in their communities across North America by exceeding the monetary and volunteering goals set for this year's Faurecia Unites with Employees for Local Service (FUELS) Food Drive.

During the 9^th annual campaign, Faurecia and its team members surpassed their food goal by donating more than 1,188,000 meals to community food banks. Since the annual campaign kicked off in 2010, Faurecia teams have donated more than 7.6 million meals to their community food banks.

At Faurecia, we believe in spanning the full spectrum of community development, from opening wallets to lending hands. Team members from all 44 Faurecia sites across Mexico, Canada and the United States also came together to invest 4,160 hours in their local communities during September. Faurecia is proud to evolve the FUELS program to better meet the needs of local communities by further growing the volunteer component of its annual campaign.
