Valley Christian Church is performing free oil changes for single moms and widows on October 6th from 8-4 at Rich’s Auto Repair at 1016 E. 8th Street in North Platte.
This year marks the 4th year the church holds the event. The first year this event took place Valley Christian Church performed less than 12 oil changes in the church parking lot. On the second year around 18 people showed up for the event, the third year the event was moved to Rich’s Auto Repair where over 50 free oil changes were done. This year the church is anticipating nearly 80 vehicles to be serviced.
The oil changes are done with the help of students from the North Platte Community College Auto Mechanics Class.
Organizer and Pastor from Valley Christian Church Brent Montgomery said about half of the vehicles they see haven’t had an oil change in about three to four years if not longer.
“This event was birthed from a dream, and it’s a dream we’ve stuck with. It’s a dream that meets a need and therefore we’ve clung to it.” Montgomery said.
If you’re a single mom or a widow who would like to receive a free oil change please set an appointment by calling Pastor Brent Montgomery at 308-520-0839 or Valley Christian Church at 308-532-4090 by Thursday, October 4.
