According to Brandon Anderson, owner of Aardvark Automotive. “We know that individuals and families are struggling with higher prices, and higher costs of living, and need to be able to count on reliable transportation to get them where they need to go to improve their lives. It is our honor to provide that sense of security, by awarding them a used car that has been fully repaired, making it reliable and safe.”
Continuing Anderson said, “We love being able to play a small role in improving one of our neighbor’s lives by providing them with a vehicle that will help them get through difficult times and to the next level in life. It is our favorite initiative of the entire year, and we can’t wait to give another deserving individual the good news that they no longer have to worry about a lack of safe, reliable transportation.”
