Phillips Cares

Phillips Chevrolet  dedicated the month of November 2020 to gathering monetary and food donations for local food pantries. Our final total for the month came to $10,950. These funds were split equally and distributed to the Frankfort Township Food Pantry, Lansing Community Food Pantry, and Kankakee County Community Services to advance their missions of helping local families in need. In addition to these funds, each Phillips Chevrolet showroom serves as a year-round collection point for donations of non-perishable food and household items to go to these organizations.

Phillips Chevrolet reached our 51^st Anniversary at the beginning of October, and to celebrate we raised money all month long for the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. This morning, Phillips Chevrolet President Curtis Pascarella (left) and Phillips Chevrolet General Manager Mike Maheras (right) present a check to Karen Bruck from South Suburban Making Strides (center) for $15,000. All three Phillips locations helped us reach our goal, and we thank them for their hard work!

Every winter, we team up with the community to give the gift of warmth to local families in need this holiday season. During the holiday season, stop by the showroom of any Phillips Chevrolet location with your donation of new or gently used winter gear, including coats, gloves, hats, scarves, and/or socks to help those in need.

Phillips Chevrolet partnered with Lincoln-Way School District 210 to provide vehicles for their Drivers Education classes. We will be leasing a total of nine vehicles for three years at no cost to the school district. "We are excited to enter this partnership with Phillips Chevrolet, Inc.," said Superintendent Dr. Scott Tingley. "This provides an excellent opportunity for our students to practice their driving skills in new automobiles."

Everyone here at Phillips Chevrolet would like to thank all the great folks who came out for our Barbecue for the Troops this Summer. Thanks to you, we raised money to help the USO provide a home away from home for our troops and help keep them connected to their families.

Phillips Chevrolet is proud to participate in the Chevrolet Youth Baseball Program, a grassroots initiative to support local communities. Each year, each Phillips Chevy location supports a local youth baseball team with donations of equipment and a sponsorship check.

Phillips Chevrolet serves as a collection point for donations to local food pantries. Both Phillips Chevrolet Frankfort and Phillips Chevrolet Lansing have collected over 3,000 items non-perishable grocery items to support our local food banks. Both locations serve as drop-off locations year round, so please help us continue to support local families in need. You can drop your donations off in the showroom of either location during regular business hours.

Phillips Chevrolet is proud to serve as a drop-off point for Toys for Tots every holiday season. With your help, we have donated over $1,000 worth of toys for kids in need to find under their trees during the holiday season.
