Community

Nucar Chevrolet takes pride in our local community and state; we do our best to help out where we can! Everyone at Nucar is a caring member of the community in which we live and work. Nucar has been extremely active and supportive of our local community over the years. We've been a major sponsor for the DFRC (Delaware Foundation Reaching Citizens with Intellectual Disabilities) annually for years, including the Blue-Gold All-Star Football game, and the Blue-Gold Golf Classic. Nucar has also supported: Make-A-Wish; Ronald McDonald House; Red Cross; Food Bank of Delaware; Suburban, Capital & New Castle Little League; Kirkwood Soccer Club; William Penn High School; Appoquinimink High School; MOT Charter School and PTA; Sunday Breakfast Mission; Kay's Kamp/Kay's Kup, as well as several golf tournaments supporting other charities. 

Nucar Chevrolet supports local youth baseball every year, and this year is no exception. We’ve sponsored New Castle Little League for more than 15 years and our teams greatly appreciate the support and sponsorship. Nucar has helped them get all kinds of equipment over the years, including balls, bats, batting tees, protective screens, scorebooks, first-aid kits and many other items. This year they received a big check as well as approximately $1,250 worth of equipment. Karen Collins, Chevy Sales Manager, and Tracy Gell, Director of Marketing & eCommerce, were on hand to throw out the first pitches, present them with the big check and meet the new teams this year. We’ve got the Mets and the Cardinals this year; hopefully both will have winning seasons! Below you’ll find pictures of both the Mets and Cardinals in the back of our new Chevy Silverado, the big check presentations, and the collage with a few different shots on it.

Nucar has an annual food drive in November and early December to help supply food for the Food Bank of Delaware so they may help feed the hungry in our area. We're proud to say we collected more than 400 pounds of food for them last year and hope to exceed it with this year's donation. Because of their valued supporters the Food Bank of Delaware distributed 5 million pounds of food in the last year to hungry Delawareans -- this provided more than 4 million meals! Thank you to all who have participated in this over the years. 

Nucar has proudly sponsored the Sue Symes Invitational Golf Tournament, Kay's Kup Tournament, and Shure-Line Drive for a Cause Golf Tournament, just to name a few. The Sue Symes Invitational benefitted Sue Symes, a single mother of four stricken with bone cancer. Kay's Kup is an annual fund raising event that directly benefits Kay's Kamp, Delaware's ONLY children's Oncology camp. Shure-Line Drive for a Cause helps different organizations yearly. Past tournaments have benefitted First Tee of Delaware, First State Military Academy and most recently YMCA of Middletown.

Nucar partnered with WDSD, iHeart Media and Christa Cooper on a coat drive we've done the last couple of years. We also helped pack food boxes for Thanksgiving Day week for The Sunday Breakfast Mission. Our coat drive this year amassed 127 coats, and a box of hats, scarves and gloves to help the needy. We were also able to put together seven pallets of food boxes for Thanksgiving Day week. Our goal was five or six pallets.
