This idea for the Drive & Dine Event was born in response to the devastating impact that COVID-19 had on our neighboring local businesses during the pandemic. Each dealership in the Harnish Auto Family gave away 50 gift cards from random at-risk restaurants and given to clients who took a test drive. The gift cards ran out so fast! So fast, that we launched the 2nd Annual Drive & Dine event in January of 2022 with the same intent. 

Every year as apart of the Harnish Auto Family, Volkswagen of Puyallup participates in October's Breast Cancer Awareness month. As part of 2021's initiative, we donated for every test drive on the customers behalf. We presented a group check of over $24,000 to the Carol Milgard Breast Center from the Harnish Auto Family! 

St. Francis House in Puyallup is one organization that we partner with to regularly support. They have multiple programs that help locals in our community, including a clothing bank that provides economically disadvantaged individuals and families with clothing and supplies.
