<p>Just recently Dick Adams Automotive teamed up with C&amp;J Auto body and glass, and Napa Auto Parts to help a local non-profit organization named Dorothy&rsquo;s Kitchen.</p>
<p>Dorothy&rsquo;s Kitchen is part of a larger non-profit organization named Dorothy&rsquo;s place. At Dorothy&rsquo;s Kitchen they serve breakfast and lunch to the needy of Monterey County. They use a small Toyota Tacoma to deliver goods. Since they are non-profit they weren&rsquo;t able to afford the cost of maintenance and repair on their unsafe vehicle. That&rsquo;s when these 3 generous local businesses jumped in to help. &nbsp;Altogether they donated $2000 worth of parts of labor to repair of Dorothy&rsquo;s Kitchen transportation truck. Here&rsquo;s what they did.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Owner Sal Jimenez of C&amp;J donated lights, bumper brackets, and seat belt parts in order to keep it safe and legal. Ron Ferguson of Salinas Napa auto parts donated shocks, fan belts, brakes, oil filters, and air filter. Here at Dick Adams we covered all the labor which also included a tune up.</p>
