August 2022 | Local Events in Kalispell MT

The Kalispell Auto Group was honored to sponsor multiple local events for the month of August 2022. Our employees also enjoyed a couple internal events to show our appreciation for our hard working teams. Keep an eye on our Events Calendar to join us for upcoming events in the Flathead Valley.

Backpack Program

For the entire month of August the Kalispell Auto Group worked hard to raise money for the Flathead Valley Food bank Backpack Program. For every vehicle that is sold from our Kalispell Toyota, Ford, and Volkswagen dealership, the Auto Group will donate $50 with the goal of reaching $20,000. Monetary donations are also accepted at all of our dealerships. This program helps to feed hungry children in need that live in the Flathead Valley throughout the school year. Children are sent home with non-perishable food on the weekends discreetly in their backpacks. This year we were proud to donate $20,000 to support this amazing program that keeps our local children of the Flathead Valley coming home happy not hungry.

In support of the local Rotary Club over 35 local breweries along with a hand full of food vendors and a couple local bands came together on August 6th for a beautiful afternoon in Depot Park.
