At Preston Chevrolet in Burton, Ohio, we take pride in making a positive difference in our community, especially during the holidays. This December, we joined forces with local organizations and our generous customers to support those in need. Through the Santa for Seniors initiative, a Christmas Toy Drive, and a Food Drive for the Geauga County Veterans Food Bank, we helped bring joy and relief to seniors, children, and veterans in the area.

Supporting Seniors with Santa for Seniors

For the Santa for Seniors program, our team collected over 250 items to bring comfort and cheer to the residents of Windsor House Inc. Essential donations included blankets, cozy socks, puzzle books, and soothing lotions and body sprays for men and women. These thoughtful gifts made the season brighter for seniors, reminding them they are cherished members of our community.

Bringing Smiles to Children Through Toy Donations

Our Christmas Toy Drive was a tremendous success, thanks to the overwhelming support from our staff and customers. Together, we collected nearly $1,000 worth of toys to benefit Family Pride of Northeast Ohio, WomenSafe, INC, and the Middlefield Grinch Toy Drive. These toys, ranging from stuffed animals to board games, provided joy for children in need, ensuring they had a holiday season filled with excitement and happiness.

Supporting Veterans with a Successful Food Drive

To honor and support local veterans, we organized a Food Drive for the Geauga County Veterans Food Bank. We proudly gathered over 300 cans of food to help stock their pantry for the holidays. These donations provided veterans and their families with much-needed meals, highlighting our gratitude for their service and sacrifices.
