Help Support the 2024 Backpack Program

July 31st, 2024 by

At Kalispell Auto Group, we believe in giving back to our community and supporting those who need it most. For example, this August, we’re excited to launch our annual Backpack program in collaboration with the Flathead Food Bank. This initiative is designed to provide much-needed assistance to local children. As well as, ensure they have access to nutritious meals over the weekends when other resources might not be available.

How It Works

For every car sold at Kalispell Volkswagen, Toyota, and Ford during the month of August, we will donate $50 to the Backpack program. Our goal is to raise $20,000, which will go directly towards helping the children in our community. The Backpack program, through the Flathead Food Bank, plays a crucial role in supporting our local youth. It serves 2,500 of our local children.

Why It Matters

Hunger is a significant issue that affects many families, and children are often the most vulnerable. During the school week, many kids rely on school meals for their primary source of nutrition. However, weekends can present a gap in this essential support. The Backpack program steps in to fill this gap by providing discrete bags filled with nutritious food for children to take home on Fridays. Therefore, ensuring they have enough to eat until they return to school on Monday.

By supporting this program, we are helping to ensure that no child in our community has to go hungry over the weekend. The impact of this initiative goes beyond just providing meals. It helps to improve children’s overall well-being, academic performance, and sense of security.

How You Can Help

We invite you to join us in this important effort. If you’re in the market for a new car, consider visiting Kalispell Volkswagen, Toyota, or Ford this August. Not only will you drive away in a great vehicle, but you’ll also be contributing to a cause that makes a tangible difference in our community. Every car sold brings us one step closer to our $20,000 goal.

Even if you’re not currently looking to buy a car, there are other ways to support the Backpack program. Donations to the Flathead Food Bank are always welcome and greatly appreciated. Together, we can make a significant impact and ensure that every child in our community has the nutrition they need to thrive.

Thank You

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our customers and community members for your ongoing support. Your generosity and commitment to helping others are what make initiatives like the Backpack program possible. Let’s work together to create a brighter, healthier future for the children in our community.
