Fred Beans continues support of The Flemington Area Food Pantry
Automotive Group's year-end sales challenge yields results, with a portion of profits dedicated to area food pantries
Fred Beans Automotive Group met its year-end goal to sell vehicles for a good cause and is now distributing the funding raised to communities where Beans operates. The company recently presented a $5,000 check to The Flemington Area Food Pantry from Fred Beans Hyundai of Flemington, Fred Beans Nissan of Flemington and Fred Beans Toyota of Flemington dealerships.
Starting Black Friday through the end of the year, Fred Beans donated a portion of each sale to fight hunger. The automotive group also collected food to include in its donations.
Throughout all dealerships and operations, the automotive group raised $50,000 to provide about 100,000 meals in New Jersey and Pennsylvania communities.
