After a month-long effort, Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers has raised $10,000 for Harvest Hope during their annual giving campaign. For every oil change performed in the Columbia area during November, Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers donated $1 and accepted customer donations.
“The holidays are one of our busiest times of the year,” said Keith Ferrell, Harvest Hope’s Interim CEO. “This donation from Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers is going to provide 50,000 meals to people in need. I just can’t say thank you enough to people of the Midlands, as well as Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers.”
“Giving back is important to us,” said Gregg Gaskins, Owner and Operator of Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers. “Each year we hope to raise more than the previous year. Thanks to the community, we raised $1,000 more than last year. It feels good to know families are going to have food for the holidays.”
Since the drive began in 2015, Express Oil Change & Tire Engineers has raised more than $30,000, providing more than 150,000 meals to people facing hunger.
