Press Release 10/11/2207
Distinctive Auto Body, Inc announces today, that they will be gifting a fully refurbished car to a family in need in Whitman, MA. The car, a 1999 Sable, will be given to the family the first week of December. President Gary Cristina had the idea of acquiring a used car and utilizing the talents of his crew to revitalize the vehicle and gifting it to a local family.
The car will be completely repaired, detailed and painted. Working with local agencies, Distinctive was able to identify a family in Whitman that would most benefit from this gift; a single mother of four whose husband had recently lost his battle with cancer. When Shop Manager, Marcie Parsons, was informed the woman was currently without a vehicle, she sprung into action. Working in conjunction with owner, Jack Vercolone and Manager Andrew Cabrera Jr. of VERC Rentals in Rockland, Parsons was able to secure a free 8 week rental for the family until the car can be completed.
Many local vendors have been kind enough to donate parts and supplies to help make this idea a reality, including Woodwards Auto Parts in Brockton, Keystone Automotive in Taunton, Ashmont Tire in Dorchester and Montague Brown of Quincy and Plymouth.
Distinctive plans to fill the car with additional gift and food donations made by friends, family and customers. This will truly be a Holiday season the family will remember.
Questions and donations may be directed to Kerri Sellers or Marcie Parsons at (781) 447-0721.
