Each year, Pull-A-Part calls upon its community of employees, customers, service providers, and neighbors in the communities it serves to make donations to "Adopt-A-Family," the company's fundraising program which raises money to help local families in need during the holidays. Each store chooses a local family (or multiple families) to 'adopt,' either through team member or business partner nominations or in response to requests for assistance it receives from local or national organizations the company supports.
Pull-A-Part collected more than $33,000 in donations for this year’s Adopt-A-Family Program, providing the funds necessary to help 41 different families in need across all the communities where the company is actively involved. Below is a summary of each store's local efforts for this year’s Adopt-A-Family Program:
Soldier's Angels
Pull-A-Part has partnered with Soldier's Angels for a few years now. This national organization provides assistance to military, veterans, and their families throughout the year. During the holidays, Soldier’s Angels identifies families who need help during the holidays and asks organizations like Pull-A-Part to 'adopt' these families, which most often includes purchasing, wrapping, and delivering gifts for children of active military or veteran parents. This holiday season, 17 of our Pull-A-Part stores have adopted one or more Soldier's Angels' families (21 in total) from their local community, including:
Pull-A-Part has always valued the service and sacrifices made by the men and women of our military past and present. There are many ways we look to give thanks to those who have served or currently serve through our community outreach efforts at Pull-A-Part. We are grateful to have an opportunity to serve these military and veteran families for Soldier's Angels this holiday season.

In addition to the support Pull-A-Part's stores provide for organizations like Soldier's Angels, our teams also adopts local families in need based on nominations it receives from team members or business partners - or requests it receives from organizations in the local community with a family in need.

Our teams work alongside our neighbors to support people, causes, projects, and other needs that help our neighbors prosper and make our communities stronger.
