“Bond Auto and our employees work hard at being part of the fabric of each of their communities.” Stated Scott Bond, President & CEO.“Each store manager identified a food shelf within their local community to support and together, their store team worked hard at raising the funds.”

“Our customer base traditionally is very good about supporting our charitable missions throughout the year,” said Mark Mast, VP of Marketing.“We felt that creating a come back coupon would give something back to our customers too.”Now that the program has wrapped up, Bond will be forwarding the donations to a food shelf in each stores local community.For a list of where the funds are going and to learn more about the Bond Auto “Good Neighbor Discount” Food Shelf program go towww.bondauto.com/bond-gives-back/food-shelf.
