Black Friday Brings West Herr-level Generosity!
Episode #1207: Paul and Chris come to you on this Black Friday to talk about our favorite part of this season, how dealers are giving back.
West Herr stepped up big this week, donating 1,400 turkeys and bags of Thanksgiving essentials to Rochester partner organizations as part of their 2025 Turkey Drive.
- The food was collected throughout the month by West Herr employees and customers.
- Six community partner organizations received the donations during an event outside the Rochester Auditorium Theatre.
- The effort marks nearly 15 years of West Herr serving the Rochester community.
- CEO Scott Bieler: “We are trying to do as much as we possibly can to take those blessings and have others benefit from it.”
