Since 2013, Progressive has been honoring veterans with vehicle donations through the Keys to Progress veteran vehicle giveaway program.
The one-day vehicle giveaway event happens every November. Employees across the country volunteer to select vehicles to donate, organize fundraising activities to collect money or goods to provide for recipient families and plan vehicle giveaway events for the recipients.
Operation Welcome Home is partnering with Progressive Insurance to seek out qualified and eligible individuals to apply for their Keys to Progress Program. If you would like to pursue an application to this program, contact Operation Welcome Home, email info@welcomehomewv.com or by phone at 304-816-4854.
