Join Us for the 2026 USO Drive for the Troops BBQ Event at Apple Chevrolet

A Community Event Supporting Our Local Heroes

Supporting the 2026 Drive for the Troops

All month long, Apple Chevrolet is honored to participate in the 2026 Drive for the Troops initiative benefiting the USO of Illinois. Donations will be accepted leading up to and including the BBQ event on July 11th.

• Deployed service members
• Military families
• Wounded, ill, and injured troops
• Families of fallen heroes

Your support helps provide critical resources, comfort items, and morale-boosting programs for those who serve.
