At AutoStream Car Care Center, we’re big believers in supporting our local communities. We’ve been involved in a number of initiatives over the years that have allowed us to connect with members of our community and help support some really great causes and organizations. From local organizations to national ones that have a big impact in our communities, giving back to the community that supports AutoStream Car Care is at at the heart of our business.
Many of our initiatives, such as our annual participation in Brakes For Breasts, have been successful largely due to the participation of our customers – and we’re grateful for your support! See AutoStream Car Care’s community involvement in action or check out some past and current community initiatives that we have been proud to support below.
Here are a few ways we are trying to give back:
The Kelly Faughnan Foundation
The Kelly Faughnan Foundation was created 12 years ago to grant wishes to children and their families , who are facing difficult circumstances and need a respite from many of the pressures that they are experiencing in their daily lives. KFF provides the financial support to allow families and kids to take time away – to relax, to have fun and to be themselves. Since its Inception, KFF has granted over 100 wishes to children in need. They continue to work tirelessly each year to provide the financial resources needed to make these wishes become reality.
