Here is a message from our Brand Development Executive, Mr. Tom McQueen regarding the Community Values Day project with Habitat for Humanity in Pinellas County:

You know you’re getting older when things start impacting you more emotionally than in your younger years.

When I saw the work that you were accomplishing today for Habitat for Humanity by building a home in Pinellas Park, it was a very moving experience for me.

Moreover, to be able to meet and speak with the owner of the home and listen to the deep gratitude he felt for your contribution, it was truly a great day for the Dimmitt Automotive Group.

Thank you so much for your contribution today as you supported those words of our mission statement that commit us to “improving the quality of life for our community” with your toil and sweat on a very demanding and rigorous project.

I appreciate you.

Most sincerely,
