August 15, 2014 – Gerber Collision & Glass, a member of the National Auto Body Council (NABC) has restored a vehicle as part of a nationwide vehicle donation program called Recycled Rides. Recycled Rides is a community awareness project whereby members of NABC repair and donate recycled vehicles to people in need. Gerber Collision & Glass refurbished a 2005 Ford Explorer, donated by Farmers Insurance.
This is Gerber Collision & Glass’s 21st vehicle donation to families and community service organizations. “We continue to refurbish and donate cars for needy families, and/or charitable organizations, not only in the Chicagoland area but around the country,” said Jim Maliszewski, Director Program Management & Centralized Support for Gerber Collision & Glass.
