Each year, Chapel Hill Tire gives away $1,000 in car care to 12 deserving local residents, as part of their “12 Days of Kindness” initiative. This year’s “12 Days” is ongoing now – and Chapel Hill Tire’s Marc Pons stops by the studio to chat with Aaron about it. Joining them is one of this year’s recipients, Samuel Rushambo – who came to the U.S. as an asylee from Rwanda and now serves as a pastor, a volunteer, and a board member with the Refugee Support Center.

Visit 12Days.ChapelHillTire.com for more on this year’s “12 Days” initiative and see this year’s recipients being awarded daily for 12 days this month.
