Just before the holidays, McPeek’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Anaheim generously donated two Dodge minivans to the Anaheim Family YMCA. In addition, they also pledged $32,500 between now and December 2020. Both vehicles were donated and include tax, license, registration and maintenance for three years.
The YMCA vans will be used to safely transport youth—ensuring its programs are accessible to all—in the following Anaheim Family YMCA programs: Anaheim Achieves after school program, summer and day camps, and sports and performing arts programs. The vans will transport kids safely from site to site, taking kids on field trips, or transport staff to trainings; additionally, staff will also use the van to help deliver supplies to families in the community and transport residents to capacity building opportunities and special events.
In December, McPeek’s presented the check for $32,500 to the Anaheim Family YMCA and kids from the Anaheim Achieves after school program were able to ride in the new van and personally thank them for their support.
Stewart Benjamin, General Manager of McPeek’s, said, “McPeek’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is a family business serving Anaheim since 1962. We are committed to family values and making a difference in our community.”
“We believe strong partnerships make for strong communities. Our deepest gratitude to McPeek’s for making this investment in our community. As Anaheim’s largest youth non-profit, we instill the Y’s values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility through all we do,” said Rick Martens, CEO of the Anaheim Family YMCA. “Our youth are our future leaders, visionaries and change makers. We thank McPeek’s in joining us in our commitment to strengthening our community.”
