In keeping with the long-time pledge of community outreach, Dimmitt associates recently worked with the Kind Mouse, to help local families in need of assistance after career loss. Following a successful food drive for the Kind Mouse, a team of Dimmitt associates volunteered their time to help the Kind Mouse distribute donated items. The Dimmitt team helped to sort, pack, and deliver meals to local schools. These efforts reflect Dimmitt Automotive Group’s steadfast commitment to support the fight against hunger in the surrounding community. The Kind Mouse works to assist families in the area who are experiencing a change following the loss of a job. The Kind Mouse is founded on the belief that “no hardworking individual should ever feel despair due to economic hardships beyond their control. Everyone has a right to feel safe and secure in their own homes, and no one should ever go hungry.” The Dimmitt team members volunteered through the company’s Community Values Day, a day set aside for team members to represent Dimmitt through outreach in their local communities. These opportunities enable Dimmitt employees to invest in their community, and help uphold Dimmitt’s commitment to community service. Dimmitt Automotive Group is committed to serving the local community through numerous outreach opportunities throughout the year. Dimmitt would like to thank the Kind Mouse for the work they do in the area. Visit the Kind Mouse to find out how you can help make a difference for local families in need of help.
