Helpful Honda will be making a donation to TreePeople.org & donating $1 for every LIKE on www.facebook.com/socalhondadealers throughout April as well!


Why? It’s estimated that at least 14 million trees and 12 million barrels of oil each year are depleted from paper and plastic bag usage in the U.S. (RensselaerCounty.org).  Stressing the importance of using reusable over paper or plastic bags to help sustain Mother Earth is just another way the Helpful Guys in Blue, supported by the SoCal Honda Dealers, are continuing their message of Helpful for 2013.  


What’s next for SoCal’s Helpful teams? …Awarding deserving teachers over Teacher Appreciation Week in May, paying at the pump for drivers as gas prices rise, complimentary car washes, and other smaller acts of kindness at hundreds of locations over the next few weeks.
