The Prince William County Salvation Army is hosting their ‘Fill a Truck’ fundraiser this year, and Steve’s Auto Repair & Tire will be on site to help.

As longtime supporters of the Salvation Army and ‘Fill a Truck’ we will have staff on site collecting toy donations in Woodbridge on Saturday, December 5.

The goal of the fundraiser is to gather toys for children in need in Prince William County. The Salvation Army will have trucks available for loading donations from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at all five of the Prince William County Walmart locations.

Donating a toy or gift to ‘Fill a Truck’ is easy and rewarding, and the Salvation Army, together with local partners like Steve’s Auto Repair & Tire have been able to provide clothing and gifts to more than 1,000 children.

Steve’s Auto Repair donates minivan to automotive program

In Community Involvement by Steves Auto Repair and Tire

Steve’s Auto Repair & Tire was proud to donate a minivan and automotive parts to the Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) Automotive Program, based out of Manassas.

“Steve’s has been loading the van up with starters and air conditioning compressors…a half shaft, a steering rack,” said Gary Phares, an automotive instructor at NOVA.

According to another automotive instructor at NOVA, John Hicks, the program currently has 150 students in day and night classes.

“We train in all eight areas of ASE [certification]…brakes, alignments, suspension, electrical, AC, engine repair, engine performance, automatic transmission, manual transmission,” said Hicks.

How the minivan donation helps

At NOVA there is a 2 year automotive degree program, or a one year certificate program with job placement assistance.

While the program is popular, Hicks and Phares said that they rely mainly on donations from automotive shops, like Steve’s, to get parts they need.

“We use a variety of things in the program, so it’s not so much a question on what we need, it’s what can we get…we pretty much rely on donations,” said Hicks.

Phares said there is especially need for manual transmissions and manual transmission vehicles.

The instructors will pick up any vehicles or parts that are donated to the program, according to Phares.

For the July 25 performance, local Stafford group – The Anthony James Band – will play pieces that feature Southern classic rock and the blues.

“We played [in the series] last year and it was a great venue. Very performer friendly and family friendly too,” said Anthony Band, the lead singer of the group.

And on August 29, the U.S. Army Band Downrange will be playing rock and patriotic tunes.

All of the performances are free, but there is a parking fee for the park.
