Highlighting a time that’s traditionally about spreading joy, cheer and goodwill to others, automotive appearance and protection services franchisor Ziebart has announced its inaugural Month of Giving initiative.
The program is a collective campaign between its corporate team and family of franchisees, dedicating the month of December to giving back to the communities they serve.
“Our Month of Giving initiative allows us to extend our reach beyond vehicles to care for the communities we serve,” said Thomas A. Wolfe, president and CEO of Ziebart International Corporation. “Our franchisees are pillars in their communities and this initiative allows them to choose a cause of their own and better the lives of those within those very communities.”
Ziebart franchisees throughout the country are encouraged to partner with one or more local charitable organizations to help supply funds, gifts or services, officials stated. Some charities already chosen by local Ziebart outlets include Toys For Tots, Lifesteps, Ronald McDonald House Charities and more.
“As a military veteran, I’ve always felt a passion for giving back to our troops, especially this time of year,” said Nick Lambie, franchise owner of Ziebart’s Morgantown, West Virginia location. “I’ve always admired the American Red Cross’ Holidays for Heroes program, and I’m looking forward to gathering donations in our store and sending everyday necessities to veterans who may need a little help this holiday season.”
