HOUSTON (Press Release)— During a global pandemic, families will get an opportunity to put more under the Christmas tree this holiday season. FuelUP & Tava Cares will be hosting a holiday giveaway on December 22, 2020, in partnership with The Lloyd Foundation. The holiday giveaway will serve 50 families or until supplies last with a host of toys and gas gift cards. Five of the families will consist of families that have been impacted by cancer. FuelUP will host the families at one of their eight locations on 11831 Bellaire Blvd, Houston, Texas 77072 beginning at 1 p.m.
“The reality is that people are still driving during the holiday season and fuel cost is still a concern for families in the pandemic. We believe that a nice way to give back is to give holiday gift cards for fuel or for snacks while families travel for their last-minute essentials for the holidays,” Taha Hashmi, Vice President of Fuel Up, said.
FuelUP is a family-owned and operated chain of gas stations serving eight locations in Houston. The gas station chain has been serving the community for over 25 years.
“We are elated to serve the community during this Holiday season! 2020 has brought on challenges for many people, and we want to bring joy to the community during this time,” said Kenny Lloyd, founder of Tava Cares & The Lloyd Foundation.
