The Rairdon Automotive Group in Washington, which consists of 4 Dodge Chrysler Jeep Dealers as well as 1 Hyundai dealer, announces its support for Seattle’s 1 Meal 1 Hope campaign against hunger.   Each of the Rairdon dealers have pledged to donate 20 meals to the 1 Meal 1 Hope organization for every vehicle sold through November 30th.  The meals will be donated in each customer’s name.

One Meal...One Hope is a campaign to compassionately meet a basic need for homeless men, women and children in the Seattle community.  It is estimated that nearly a quarter million children live below the poverty level in Washington and more than 1 in 10 live with the fear of hunger.

As a family run business, Rairdon Auto Group understands the value and importance of contributing to the community in which they serve.  According to Jon Sherrell, President/Owner of Rairdon Auto Group, the campaign serves as an important reminder of how we can all make a difference in our own community.  “Each of us can do something.  It doesn’t matter how big or little a contribution may be, together we can all make a difference in the lives of those around us, and we hope to do that by contributing to this wonderful cause,” explains Sherrell.

Rairdon Auto Group has 5 locations through Washington including 4 Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealers in Kirkland, Smokey Point and Bellingham, and a Hyundai dealer in Monroe.  Washington residents who would like to support the One Meal One Hope campaign can visit any of the Rairdon dealers for more information.

Rairdon Auto Group is the premier Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep dealer in Western Washington. Rairdon offers low prices and great trade in values for used cars. All of the Rairdon dealerships have earned the highest certification given by Chrysler of “Five Stars”.
