(ABC 6 News) – In Albert Lea, the school district is teaming up with a local auto dealer to help make the holidays a bit brighter.

Albert Lea Area schools and Dave Syverson Auto are working together this week to deliver meals to families in need during the holiday season.

Both district leaders and employees at Dave Syverson Auto Center say they’re proud to be able to provide for their community.

This is our fourth year now,” said Travis Stortroen, the general manager at Dave Syverson Auto Center. “And the social workers look forward to it every year too because they’re getting asked from these, these families if if we’re doing it again. So I think it’s making a huge impact.”

They’ll be serving a total of 125 meals to selected families with the school district’s social workers from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Dec. 21.
