RTNJJSCFreeGasNATPKG5pm

With high prices free gas might sound pretty good right now a church and a gas station in Jersey City said to be making that happen, giving away $7,000 in free gas. Welcome to CC gas giveaway. We had 1 94 we're going to 300 we wanted to do a gas giveaway. We started out doing $25 for the 1st 100 cars that showed up. We also spoke with Sonoco and after we talked to them, they decided that after hearing what we were doing, the owner decided to partner with us and so he gave another $2500. And so I thought if local parish can do that to the community, I should be able to at least match that. The owner then turned around and reached out to Sonoco is corporate and corporate said, well, since you're doing that, we're going to do another $2500 which made it now 300 cars. This is truly a blessing. But never imagine nobody giving away free gas. It's a good thing for today. Thank you. Thank you. People are having a difficult time being able to pay for fuel in order to get to work. I mean, it's twice the price. If it was two years ago, gas prices today, flexing up and down food prices. Everything up. People need to break at the worst time for gas for everybody to give out 300 cars worth of gas in Jersey City. I drove by, I thought it was a funeral, but it's actually like and it's beautiful. It's beautiful. Thank you. Oh, isn't the need for gas? Thank you so much. It's just, it's really great to see people happy in today's climate in the heat. No one's complaining about the heat. No one's complained about nothing. It's just a great gesture. And it also shows that we can work together, right? So it's not just one entity. And look what happens when we work together. We can get so much more done when we do it together. And hopefully one day man will be able to do a gas giveaway with no limitations. We're just gonna fill everybody up.
