Auto repair shop in Batavia part of effort to feed local families

By Billie Owens

Grease Lightning & Castrol Premium Lube have created a food drive called “Give To Live” to feed families this November.

The Grease Lightning/Castrol Premium Lube auto repair shop in Batavia is one of sites which will be asking customers to donate non-perishable food items and/or money to benefit a local food bank/soup kitchen.

Starting Nov. 1 through the 30th, customers can bring food items to 50 Liberty Street and 4003 West Main Street Road in Batavia to put in collection bins and/or also have a portion of the proceeds from an oil change donated to feed local families in need.

Good oil change -- $5 donation

Better oil change -- $10 donation

Best oil change -- $15 donation

High mileage oil change -- $10 donation

The company's Director of Marketing Jimi Jamm is no stranger to events of this kind.

“During my previous career in the broadcast industry, I participated or directed numerous events aimed at feeding the less fortunate in our community," Jamm said. "Hunger is a year round concern, not just during the holidays and the ones most affected are the children of families who can't provide the basic nutrition they need.

"The best thing about our launch of this new initiative is that the donated food and money will stay locally in each market.”
