The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation is excited to announce its partnership with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, a leading car rental provider, to strengthen community support across Northamptonshire.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car has eight branches across Northamptonshire, including one in Bedford. Guided by their founding value of “Strengthening our communities, one neighbourhood at a time,” the Northamptonshire team reached out to The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation to offer their support.
The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation is a local charity that was established during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to combat hunger and provide essential supplies to those in need. Initially an emergency food bank, it has since expanded to support over 80 schools and various organisations across Northamptonshire. In addition to food assistance, the charity also hosts three weekly social clubs, offers home and garden renovations, provides educational services, and delivers a range of community welfare programmes.
As part of this partnership, Enterprise Rent-A-Car has generously offered to support the vital work of the charity through team volunteering, assisting foodbank operations and outreach community services as well as making a donation from the Enterprise Mobility grant programme.
Teresa, Founder of The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation, said: ‘It’s so fantastic to have local businesses supporting their communities. We work with over 80 schools across Northamptonshire, reaching families right across the county. For each Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch in Northamptonshire, there will be households in their close vicinity who have directly benefited from their support. We truly can’t thank them enough for considering our charity and offering this fantastic opportunity.’
James Buthlay, Area Manager for Enterprise Rent-A-Car, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are thrilled to support such a fantastic local charity. At Enterprise Rent-A-Car, we believe in the importance of giving back and making a positive impact where we live and work. Working with The McCarthy-Dixon Foundation allows us to contribute to initiatives that help alleviate hunger and provide essential resources to families in need. We look forward to supporting their incredible mission and making a meaningful difference in the community.”.
