Vic Vaughan Family Foundation (VVFF), the philanthropic branch of Vaughan Automotive, donated $50,000 to Love Kendall County Kids, a youth program designed to assist children in Kendall County in any capacity. The donation covered the entire cost of the Food 4 Kids Program and the Camps 4 Kids Program, two programs that support children during the non-school hours of the summer. In addition, the donation was used to support families in desperate need of required house repairs for a safe living environment. Love Kendall County Kids operates with 100% volunteer labor and collaborates with churches, companies, institutions of higher learning and other organizations to offer lunches, camp scholarships and year-round assistance to local children and families facing food insecurity. “This donation is going to make an enormous difference for the kids of Kendall County,” said Beth Webster, Love Kendall County Kids Board Chair. “Not only is this donation going to help with the Food 4 Kids Program, but it will also allow our organization to double the number of scholarships given to the children of Kendall County, allowing them to enroll in camps at places like Boerne Soccer Club, the Boys & Girls Club, Cibolo Nature Center, the YMCA and many more. We are so grateful to the Vic Vaughan Family Foundation for truly understanding the needs of our community and improving the lives of children in Kendall County.” Vic Vaughan, owner of VVFF in Boerne, Texas, has continuously given back to the community that has supported him over the years, and he formed the foundation to do just that. Previously, the foundation made sizable donations to other organizations, such as Hill Country Family Services and Fill Country Daily Bread. The donation to Love Kendall County Kids furthers the foundation’s mission to support the community by helping to eradicate hunger in their local communities and assisting underprivileged women and children. GENE MESSER FORD STEPPED UP TO SUPPORT TORNADO VICTIMS A devastating tornado hit Perryton in June 2023 and caused devastating destruction. Gene Messer Ford and Patriot Roofing and Construction Group were quick to jump into action to help the victims, collecting food and clothing donations, raising money and holding a cookout for all Perryton residents, first responders and volunteers. Even after two weeks, the support was still going strong, and they were making quick work of the debris, working to get residents back on their feet as soon as possible. Jeremy Chastain of Gene Messer Ford said, “If it wasn’t for the community supporting us, we wouldn’t be here. So it’s just another way of giving back to the community to support them in this time of need.” Everyone’s efforts demonstrated their commitment to supporting the community and those in need. They hope to continue to make a positive impact in the community and provide relief to those who need it most. VIC VAUGHAN FAMILY FOUNDATION DONATES $50,000 TO YOUTH PROGRAM 43 DEALERS’ CHOICE
