CHANDLER, Ariz. - Nov. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- Dollar Mania, an independent and family-owned dollar store, is excited to host the 7-Time Land Speed Record holder, Valerie Thompson on Nov. 15, for a celebrity meet and greet appearance and holiday food drive to stock the St. Mary’s Food Bank for hungry families in the Valley.

Did you know that one in four U.S. kids do not know where their next meal is coming from? Hunger has a huge impact on our communities. Together we can directly make a difference in the lives of local families, people that we know, our neighbors and customers.

Valerie Thompson is happy to team up with Dollar Mania to encourage the community to fill the St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance this fall, but they need your help!

Don’t speed through life! It’s important to slow down and give back to the community. I’m super excited to be part of Dollar Mania’s Holiday Food Drive to help hungry families in the Valley and I’m looking forward to meeting new race fans on Saturday,” said Valerie Thompson.

Bring in donations of canned food, boxed meals and non-perishable items and get the chance to meet “America’s Queen of Speed,” for photo opportunities and an autograph signing. Canned food items are also available for purchase in-store at Dollar Mania.

This is a FREE event and is open to the public.
