Maaco recently kicked off its Love Your Car campaign, in which shop owners nominate customers for a free paint job. For its first donation, one Maaco location restored an old cannon on display for a non-profit supporting veterans, according to a press release.
Maaco Greenville of Greenville, North Carolina, decided to help Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7032 as the location is undergoing renovations. Looking to help with the revamp, Maaco shop owner Pete Schwartz wanted to do his part.
The shop took in the 1941 U.S. Army Cannon Boom the organization has had on its lawn for decades and restored it with a brand new paint job.
“At Maaco, we paint anything, but this project was special because it filled my team and I with so much pride,” Schwartz stated, via the press release. “Seeing the way everyone jumped right in to tackle this project was incredible. I look forward to continuing our efforts in giving back to our deserving community!”
