North Dakota dealership fuels school meals with car sales
DEVILS LAKE, N.D. — Staff at one car dealership in North Dakota are giving back to the community the best way they know how — by selling cars.
For the second year in a row, Devils Lake Cars is donating money to the Devils Lake Public School System.
During the month of November, they’ll donate more than $100 per car sold to the school’s Angel Fund.
That will cover the cost of more than 30 meals in the school system. The donations also cover negative balances for student’s school lunches. You can also donate to the the Angel Fund year-round.
“We try to do things differently being in a smaller community,” Ben Bergstrom, the co-owner at Devils Lake Cars, said. “It’s a cool promotion not just because we get to give back to the community but also how the team gets involved.”
Last year, they raised more than $20,000 dollars, covering nearly 6,000 lunches and were able to eliminate almost all outstanding balances.
