The Gerald Jones team is supporting The Salvation Army of Augusta by ringing the bells at the Kroger on Columbia Road, just behind Gerald Jones Auto Group. This is time donated by the Jones Family and the team members; we have a friendly competition with other Bell Ringer Groups to see who can raise the most money for The Salvation Army of Augusta during our allotted time. We’ve won a couple times! Come see us the first few days of December at the Kroger on Columbia Road.

Subaru Loves to Help & Subaru Share the Love
November 2020
Subaru Loves to Help
More than 500,000 Americans experience homelessness each night. This November, as part of Subaru Loves to Help and in recognition of National Homeless Youth Awareness Month, Subaru and Gerald Jones Subaru will be donating 50,000 blankets to local homeless shelters across the country to help youth and all people who are without homes. Our blankets are being donated to the Augusta Dream Center. As we enter the season of giving, and nights get colder, we want to do our part in making a difference to those who need our help.
Subaru Share the Love

They serve low income, homeless, and underserved individuals and families in the Augusta/South Augusta communities with a food pantry, clothes closet, Sunday meals, and healthcare services. All free to those in need.
Now through January 4th, $5.00 will be donated to our hometown charities each time a customer has their car serviced at Gerald Jones Subaru!

Gerald Jones Ford Lincoln Makes a ‘Big Wish’ for Area Children
When The Lincoln Motor Company asked area dealerships to share āwishesā that exist in our local communities, Brian Winters, the General Manager of Gerald Jones Ford Lincoln, responded with a big wish for our local children. He asked The Lincoln Motor Company to help Gerald Jones Ford Lincoln give a Merry Christmas to underprivileged children of the CSRA through a donation of $1000.00 to Toys for Tots. Mr. Winters had already launched a radio campaign earlier in the month, sharing that Gerald Jones Ford Lincoln would match all toy donations dropped off at the dealership. The response was an overwhelming outpour from the community to those in need. After matching the gifts, The Lincoln Motor Companyās additional $1000.00 donation was the cherry on top of what will be a better Christmas for these children.
From Gerald Jones Ford Lincoln, we hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
