Every meal feeds a family in need.

Trade in Hunger is our annual commitment to fight food insecurity across the Midwest — one meal kit, one dealership, one community at a time.

Why it matters

Food insecurity doesn't announce itself. It quietly affects families across the communities we call home — neighbors who a year ago didn't need help, now turning to local pantries to get through the week. Regional food banks are seeing demand surge by 60% or more. The need is real, and it's growing.

How it works

Our employees and your community come together to pack and deliver thousands of meal kits directly to local food pantries and regional food banks. Here's how you can be part of it.

Giving back is in our DNA

Kunes Auto & RV Group was founded on Faith, Family, and Giving Back. Since 1996, we've donated 10% of our annual net profits — more than $1 million per year — to community organizations through the Kunes Family Foundation. Trade in Hunger is one of the most visible expressions of that commitment: neighbors helping neighbors, in every town we serve.
