We recently had the honor of participating in the Rio Grande Valley Food Bank event, dedicated to collecting school supplies for the upcoming school year. The community came together in an inspiring display of generosity and support.

The event was made even more exciting with the presence of local car clubs showcasing a stunning array of vehicles. Attendees admired antique cars, motorcycles, off-road modified jeeps, classic American muscle cars, and new-generation sports vehicles. Despite the Texas heat, vendors provided refreshing drinks, delicious snacks, and hot foods, creating a festive atmosphere for everyone.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone from across the Rio Grande Valley who donated backpacks, pencils, markers, color boxes, rulers, folders, crayons, colored pencils, notebooks, and more. Your contributions will make a significant difference in the lives of many students as they prepare for the new school year.

At Payne Auto Group, we believe that giving back to the community doesn’t require an army; even small donations, like folders or pencils, can have a tremendous impact. We invite you to join us at any Payne location in the RGV and test drive a vehicle for a chance to win a $250 gift card for school supplies.

Special thanks to our beloved cowboy mascot, Bimmy, who brought smiles to many faces, and Chris Marshall of the Payne Street Team, for their enthusiastic participation.

Together, let’s continue to support our community and ensure every student has the supplies they need to succeed!
