Kendall’s 12 Days of Caring 2019 Recap

Kendall’s ‘12 Days of Caring’ began on Monday, December 2^nd.  Kendall’s ‘12 Days of Caring’ is a holiday event designed to give back through a variety of outreach activities centered around our customers, the community, and our employees. Each year, we spend 12 days focusing on our Kendall Cares mission, giving back to local-non-profit organizations, and showing appreciation for our customers and employees. Below are some of our favorite highlights:

Day One – Christmas.. Gifting Back with Santa

As part of Kendall’s 12 Days of Caring, Santa, Mrs. Claus and elves joined the team to help spread holiday cheer to Community, Clients, Co-workers.  Kendall Ford of Meridian and Kendall Idaho Center Auto Mall also donated $50 per every vehicle sold to the Ronald McDonald House.

Day Two – Employee Appreciation Event

Day Three – Spread Holiday Cheer

Kendall Auto Idaho Team Members submitted names of local non-profits they would like to support. Three names were pulled and the non-profit was given a $50 donation and the team member that submitted the organization received a $25 gift card as well. The following organizations were randomly selected:

Idaho Human Society – submitted by Mike Simpson

Nami – submitted by Carissa Tate

Sleep in Heavenly Peace– Submitted by Helen Roden

Day Four – Employee Appreciation Event

Day Five – Kendall Black Friday

What do Kendall Cares and Animals have in common? They Both Love Others Unconditionally.
Kendall Auto Idaho took advantage of Black Friday shopping this year in a special way.  Before the 12 Days of Caring began, Kendall team members submitted names of local non-profits that they would like to support and several were chosen over the 12 Days of Caring. On Day 5, Kendall chose to go shopping and donate a Kendall Cares car full of items to the West Valley Humane Society. Animals deserve love and joy too!

Day Six – It’s Beginning to Look A lot like Kendall

On Day 6 of Kendall’s 12 Days of Caring, a couple Idaho Kendall team members went into the community on a mission to say thank you, spread holiday cheer, and give back. Once a Kendall license plate was spotted, Kendall would engage with them, say “thanks for being a wonderful Kendall Customer,” and give them a gift card for free gas. Kendall interacted with clients in many places, such as parking lots, a dog park, and even in the middle of the road at a stop light. It is true joy to provide joy to our clients as well as community.

Day Seven – Kendall Adopt A Family 

You never know who may needs a little more love. This year we selected a Kendall family to adopt. Kendall purchased gifts for the kids and made meals for the family hoping to bring a little more happiness this holiday season.

Day Eight – Showering Teachers with Joy

Day Ten – HO HO HO…Hope you stay Warm this Holiday Season

Kendall Auto Idaho team members continuously strive to provide every client with unrivaled customer service no matter what the weather brings. For Day 10 of the 12 Days of Caring we decided to share the warmth with a Hot Cocoa and Donut Bar, with all the fixings. Thanks for all your hard work and stay warm Idaho!

Day Eleven – Employee Appreciation Event

Day Twelve – That’s a Wrap!

On the last day of Kendall Auto Idaho’s 12 Days of Caring, team members delivered 16 stockings to the Idaho Youth Ranch Hays House. The stockings contained all  kinds of goodies such as gloves, hats, socks, games, journals, gum, and candy.

According to the Youth Ranch site,

“Hays House gives kids a safe, supportive, caring, stable place to live while we help them find their way forward. Our support services include life-skills classes, strength-based family and individual counseling from a master’s level clinician, structured education, and community-based recreation. Hays House also provides access to an accredited academic program for grades 9 to 12 that includes GED instruction and testing.”

We are thankful for all that the Idaho Youth Ranch provides to our youth.

Thank you to everyone who made our Kendall 12 Days of Caring an event to remember. Can’t wait for next year!
