Auto Repair Shop Gives Free Car To Red Cross Volunteer

mnJeff Klonowski, a Red Cross volunteer, recently received a free 1998 Saturn SL2 from Ray’s Certified Auto Repair in Moorhead, MN.

From the INFORUM.com website:

Jeff Klonowski thought he was helping a friend pick up a car from Ray’s Certified Auto Repair on Saturday afternoon. He didn’t realize he’d go home with a new vehicle, as well.

The 58-year-old Red Cross volunteer was selected from 75 nominees to receive a free 1998 Saturn SL2. The auto shop sought nominations from the public to select a deserving recipient.

“It’s a blessing,” Klonowski said in an interview at the party in his honor. “Shows me that the people that work with me at the Red Cross have a big heart.”

Klonowski’s co-workers at the Red Cross nominated him for the prize, and many were at the event Saturday, beaming at his surprised expression.
