Caliber Collision Donates 17 Recycled Rides in 2013

Three pre-Thanksgiving vehicle giftings in California and Arizona cap off MSO's Recycled Rides effort.

Caliber Collision wrapped up its yearlong Recycled Rides program with three pre-Thanksgiving vehicle giftings in California and Arizona, resulting in a total of 17 vehicles donated in 2013.  

In the most recent Recycled Rides presentations, Caliber partnered with Ameriprise Auto & Home Insurance on a vehicle for a U.S. Army medic in Tempe, Ariz., and with State Farm in Irvine, Calif., to provide transportation for a U.S. Navy seaman. Both recipients were active-duty service members nominated by Operation Homefront, a national support organization for military families.

A third vehicle was donated to a single mother in Lancaster, Calif., who was selected through a community-wide nominating program.

Caliber has partnered this past year with a number of their insurance partners on Recycled Rides, including Allstate, American Family, Ameriprise, Auto Club of Southern California, Esurance, GEICO, Progressive and State Farm.

“We look forward in 2014 to teaming up with our many insurance partners and the National Auto Body Council to help provide the gift of reliable transportation to deserving first responder and military families in the communities we serve,” said Greg Clark, senior vice president of marketing for Caliber. “Recycled Rides is a life-changing event, not just for our recipients but also for our many participating Caliber team members whose lives are enriched by the opportunity to give back and make a difference in someone’s life. It is this same commitment and spirit that mirrors our company’s sole purpose to restore our customers to the rhythm of their lives.”
