General Sales Manager Jerry Wilkerson spoke to SWARK.Today about today's coffee, "Mark McLarty told us it was important to him that we be a part of the community. When we met Christy, and she told us about the coffees, we thought this was a great way to get out and be involved in the community. We want to be a vibrant part of the community and let people know that we’re here. The McLarty family has been a part of Hope for over 100 years and every time we talk, they say make sure you’re out in the community, be doing stuff with and for the community so we definitely want to honor their wishes,” Wilkerson said. 

Director of Community Engagement, David Surguine came down to be a part of today’s coffee and expressed a commitment to play a vital role in this little town called Hope. 

Executive Director of the Hope Hempstead County Chamber of Commerce, Christy Burns was pleased with today’s community coffee. “I am proud to have Hope Auto as Chamber Members and excited for all they do within our community.”
