Car Donation to SIU Automotive Program

March 2019 - Employees of Vogler Ford, Ford Motor Company, and the SIU Carbondale Automotive Program are pictured with a 2016 Ford Focus that was donated to the college. This was one of two cars donated to SIU this year. The Automotive Technology program is one of the best in the country and places students all over the United States after they graduate. Vogler was proud to be a part of this donation to such a worthwhile cause.

 


Shoe Drive
In March, 2018 we partnered with Soles4Souls, a charitable organization that collects new and gently-used shoes. They send them to less fortunate countries where they use the shoes to set up entrepreneurs who can sell the shoes and help provide for their families. One pair of shoes can provide 5 meals for someone in Haiti. 20 pair can provide housing for a family in Haiti for a year. Below is the photo of the truck we filled with 816 pair of shoes. Thank you to all our employees, customers and friends who donated and made this year's drive a huge success. We hope to make it an annual event.

  
 

Ford Drive One 4 UR School Events

We believe in giving back to the community. We do so in several ways. One of those ways is through "Drive One" events where people are asked to take a test drive in a new Ford or Lincoln vehicle . The schools and organizations earn $20 for each test drive. Since 2011 Vogler Motor Company is proud to have raised $119,030 for local schools and organizations through this program.
