The Ardmore Initiative Recognized at PDC Gala

Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway Here at Ardmore Toyota, we know we’re immensely lucky to have the great gift of being a trusted source for buying and servicing vehicles in Ardmore, PA. When we come to work each day, we’re dedicated to continuing to earn that trust by giving each customer the best possible level of service. However, none of what we do would be possible without the support of our amazing community. This holiday season, we wanted to give back to that community, which is why we joined Walnut Hill Neighbors, The Enterprise Center, and Central City Toyota in helping to make sure those in need in Ardmore have enough this Thanksgiving. On November 22 nd, 2021, we got together at Max Paul Park (4610 Market Street) and helped to give out Thanksgiving meals to over 300 families. Each family was given a turkey and a variety of different sides and desserts to ensure they had plenty to eat. We are very thankful for all that we have this year and are honored to join other members of the community in giving back. Always Looking for Opportunities to Give Back to the Community Here at Ardmore Toyota, we believe in the importance of always looking for ways to give back to the community we serve. While Thanksgiving and other important holidays give us the opportunity to do something special such as this, supporting our community every day is just as important. Each day at work, our team is dedicated not just to making that next sale, but to always doing it in a way that benefits you. That’s why we offer reliable vehicles and quality service at a fair price. Beyond that, we’re always looking for opportunities to help individuals and businesses in the surrounding area. We are proud to be part of this amazing community and hope to be here to serve everyone for many years to come.

Providing affordable transportation is not the only way we give back to the Philadelphia community. Ardmore Toyota is active in community donations, fundraisers and other goodwill events and proudly sponsors a number of charitable organizations in the greater Philadelphia area. Learn about just some of the ways we serve our community below. Community Donations Among our most recent community donations took place on Oct. 6, 2020 as we supported the Lower Merion Police Department with the National Night Out Drive Thru. We loaded up a Toyota Tacoma full of boxes of food to be delivered to ElderNet of Lower Merion and the Narberth Community Food Bank. ElderNet provides a variety of free healthcare and food security services to improve the quality of life for older and disabled neighbors with low to moderate incomes. The Narberth Community Food Bank provides food assistance for residents of the Narberth and Lower Merion communities who are in need. We also recently made a donation to support the publishing of a children’s book written by a former employee that promotes improved relationships between police and the communities they serve. Other community donations have included food drives, winter coat drives and more. Additional Community Engagement Ardmore Toyota is a past recipient of the Shining Star Award, which recognizes persons, businesses, and organizations who leave positive impressions on the community. Just a few of our many recent initiatives include: Hosting local leaders to celebrate Women’s Day as part of Press for Progress. Hosting an annual Christmas celebration that provides presents, prizes, and refreshments for area residents. Operating our annual Driving Away The Cold program that provides winter coats for underprivileged youth. Supporting the Katie At The Bat Team, which empowers young girls in underserved areas of Philadelphia by helping them participate in sports, education, leadership training, and character development.

Ardmore Toyota has quite a history of community involvement, and the dealership’s latest efforts tackle an issue that is at the forefront of society today: Police and community relations. Ardmore Toyota has made a donation to support a former employee in publishing a children’s book about improving relationships between police and the communities in which they serve. And we’d love for you to also make a donation to help see this project through. Funding Nahjee Grant’s Next Children’s Book Aron Goes to the Police Academy is the latest work of Nahjee Grant, a former Ardmore Toyota employee and civic leader who has gone on to publish 12 children’s books including Aron Goes to the White House Science Fair and Aron Runs for Class President. Grant’s latest work takes on a touchy subject in a way that is fun and lighthearted but with a clear and direct message, and it draws on some of the real-world work he has done to bridge the gap between police and the community. Bringing His Story to Life Grant is utilizing the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo to fund the costs associated with publishing the book and bringing it to bookshelves and police departments all across the country. The money raised will help pay for the book’s illustrations rendered by a freelance artist, formatting, ISBN registration, proof printing, and curriculum production. Grant hopes to initially publish 1,000 books to distribute to police departments that are associated with the Race for Peace organization, which is made up of members of law enforcement, clergy, government, and citizens from the greater Philadelphia area. Donate Today Grant’s crowdfunding campaign ends on August 12, and he could use your help to cross the finish line. To donate or to learn more about the book and Nahjee himself, visit the project page here. To show his appreciation to everyone who makes a donation, Nahjee is offering up some limited-edition rewards including early access to the book. We encourage you to make a donation to help bring Nahjee’s idea to life and to inspire change in the Philadelphia community and beyond.
