Empowering Our Community

Kalispell Auto Group is committed to making a lasting impact across the Flathead Valley. Through partnerships, sponsorships, and charitable programs, we support local schools, families, and organizations to help our community thrive. Our focus is on creating opportunities that foster growth, education, and well-being for all residents. From providing essential supplies to supporting youth programs and community events, we aim to be an active participant in improving quality of life. Investing in the Flathead Valley is not just about giving back—it’s about creating a stronger, connected community that can flourish for generations to come.

Schools & Youth Programs

Toasty Tootsies

Every year, we donate over 400 pairs of boots to children in need across the Flathead Valley. This initiative ensures that students can attend school and participate in activities comfortably and safely during the cold winter months. We partner with local schools and community organizations to identify the children who need support the most. By providing proper winter footwear, we not only address basic needs but also help improve attendance and participation. Toasty Tootsies is a small program with a big impact, helping kids feel cared for and ready to learn.

Backpack Program

Through our collaboration with the Flathead Valley Foodbank, we provide backpacks filled with nutritious food for children who might otherwise go hungry over the weekend. Each backpack contains meals and snacks that are easy for kids to prepare and enjoy. This program addresses food insecurity while supporting overall child health and development. Schools help distribute the backpacks discreetly so that children can participate without stigma. By supporting the Backpack Program, we are investing in the health, education, and well-being of future generations.

School Support & Donations

Kalispell Auto Group actively invests in local schools, including School District 5 and schools in Whitefish, Lakeside, and surrounding areas. Through annual cash donations, we have contributed to major projects and programs that enhance student learning and extracurricular opportunities. Our support includes funding for sports, arts, technology, and academic initiatives that help students reach their potential. We also assist with school events, supplies, and community projects that strengthen the relationship between schools and families. By investing in education, we hope to create long-lasting benefits for students and the wider community alike.

Annual Raffle Program

Our yearly raffle raises funds for local schools while offering participants the chance to win exciting prizes such as a new Toyota Rav4, Ford Escape, Volkswagen Taos, or $30,000 in vehicle credit. Each raffle supports a wide range of school programs and initiatives, giving back to the community that supports us. The raffle has become a cherished tradition in the Flathead Valley, with families and educators alike appreciating the opportunity to contribute while hoping to win. Proceeds from this program help enhance classrooms, provide new equipment, and support student programs. You can learn more about the raffle here.

Charity Programs

30 Days of Giving

Each year, we dedicate 30 days to supporting local charities and initiatives throughout the Flathead Valley. During this period, we partner with multiple organizations to provide financial support, in-kind donations, and volunteer efforts. Programs range from helping families in need to assisting local food banks, shelters, and youth services. The goal is to address immediate community needs while fostering long-term relationships that strengthen the social fabric of the region. By committing to this program annually, we demonstrate our ongoing dedication to improving the lives of our neighbors and supporting the nonprofit organizations that serve them.

Employee & Food Support

We provide our employees the option to receive holiday turkeys for their families, and any remaining turkeys are donated to local food banks to help those in need. This initiative ensures that all families, whether employees or community members, have access to nourishing meals during the holidays. It also strengthens our internal culture of giving and engagement, reminding staff that their contributions to the community matter. Beyond food, we encourage employees to participate in volunteer opportunities and fundraising events, further fostering a sense of purpose and community involvement. By supporting both our team and the wider community, we help create a culture of empathy, generosity, and civic responsibility.
