Eberle Automotive Sells Calendars for the Needy

For $1.50, residents can purchase a calendar knowing 100 percent of the proceeds will go to families in need.

When he’s not fixing engine parts or finding more ways to tread through tough economic times, Frank Eberle is focused on helping local families.

That’s why, since the 1990s, Eberle and his auto shop crew has sold calendars and donated 100 percent of the proceeds to those in need.

In a partnership with Delmont United Methodist Church called “Calendars for Christmas,” Eberle Automotive hopes a family will have Christmas presents this year thanks to the charitable effort.

“I found open arms [at Delmont United Methodist Church],” Eberle said. “It seems they wanted to help [local families] but were short on funds. This program enabled them to help area families.” 

The calendars, sold for $1.50, feature “scenes of America,” and “Muscle Thunder,” Eberle said.

“We hope to have a sell out prior to Dec. 23," he said. "Just to give Santa some shopping time.”
