Rodeo Ford is proud to announce the Global Food Drive Social Media Takeover Day on September 15, 2026. It’s all part of an effort by the Global Ford Dealer Network to bring people together to fight food insecurity. While the effort is worldwide, our personal efforts are right here in our community.  Like many other dealers across the world, our team is taking time to assist the food banks that make such a difference in the Phoenix area. Recognizing our dealership group’s 75th Anniversary, Earnhardt Auto Centers and the Earnhardt Family recently made a $22,500 donation to St. Mary’s Food Bank. Apparently that’s enough to cover 75,000 meals and provide 75,000 bottles of water. The Spirit of Tex Earnhardt is part of what drives us to do our best every day. This includes sharing with the community that supports us.  And we are proud to be part of the Global Ford Dealer Network as we seek to address food insecurity together.
