PEAVY’S GARAGE CONDUCTS SECOND ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE
TO SUPPORT KATY CHRISTIAN MINISTRIES

Teams with the Cinco Ranch Dance Team to Provide 75 Families with Food, Essentials this Thanksgiving

KATY, TX – November 1, 2008 – Peavy’s Garage (www.peavys-garage.com), a Katy leader in under hood and under car care service, announced today its second annual food drive in support of the Katy Christian Ministries. This year, with the support of the Cinco Ranch Cougar Dance Team, Peavy’s Garage hopes to gather more than 250 bags of groceries to help 75 families this Thanksgiving. For each bag of donated goods, Peavy’s Garage will donate one dollar to the KCM Food Pantry.

“Last year the Katy community helped make our food drive a huge success,” said Peavy’s Garage Owner Ken Peavy. “This year we’ve raised the bar and are tapping into the high school community through the Cinco Ranch dance team to gather double the goods for double the people in need this Thanksgiving.”

Peavy’s Garage works to support Katy whenever possible, and Thanksgiving provides the perfect opportunity to bring the community together. The KCM Food Pantry is currently in urgent need of basic essentials, including shampoo, laundry detergent, canned fruit, canned vegetables, rice, boxed cereal and more.

Each month the KCM Food Pantry provides meals and non-perishable items to more than 1,000 individuals in a 170 mile radius. This number is up from last year by 15 percent, making the need for donations even more important.

“This November we expect to meet an even greater need due to hurricane Ike and the economic downturn,” said Bruce Kingwell, KCM Food Pantry director. “So we are grateful for organizations like Peavy’s Garage and the Cinco Ranch dance team who are willing to give of there time and support to help us assist others.”

PEAVY’S GARAGE ANNOUNCES FIRST ANNUAL PUPPY LOVE VALENTINES DRIVE TO SUPPORT KATY’S LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER—S.T.A.A.R.

Katy, TX—January 26, 2007—Peavy’s Garage (www.peavys-garage.com), a Katy leader in under hood and under car care service, is conducting their first annual Puppy Love Valentines Drive on behalf of Katy’s very own animal shelter--S.T.A.A.R. (South Texas Animal Adoption Resource). From now until February 14, Peavy’s Garage is gathering shelter supplies to help S.T.A.A.R. continue to provide a comfortable refuge for animals in need of a new home.

“Dogs have been a constant in our homes and our businesses,” said Ken Peavy, owner of Peavy’s Garage. “So we want to take this opportunity to provide S.T.A.A.R. with some much needed support and help raise greater awareness about what they do for Katy’s four-legged friends.”

S.T.A.A.R. has housed animals for nearly 20 years. Providing shelter to animals in need, the organization conducts approximately 100 adoptions a year, seeking the perfect family for each dog in their care. In the process, they are continually in need of supplies, such as food, toys and cedar shavings, to help create a cozy environment for the 75 or so animals they look after at any given time.

“Valentine’s Day offers the perfect opportunity to show love and support to an organization that helps the animals we hold so dear,” explained Ken Peavy. “There are so many ways individuals can get involved and a small donation can go far.”

In addition to participating in the Puppy Love Valentines Drive, Peavy’s Garage asks the community to help S.T.A.A.R. win a million dollar makeover from ZooToo, an organization dedicated to bringing pet lovers together. Simply by signing up at ZooToo.com/register and entering zip code 77491, individuals can help S.T.A.A.R. earn points toward a new and improved facility through ZooToo’s National Pet Shelter Makeover contest.

In fact, the KCM Food Pantry provides a nutritionally balanced supplement of non-perishable food twice a month to over 1,240 individuals in a 170 square mile radius. In addition, they offer hygiene items, birthday bags for children and fresh produce from yard gardeners and local farmers throughout the year.

“This November we expect to feed over 1500 people. We are always so grateful when the community offers its support,” said Cheryl Crozier, KCM Food Pantry director. “Donations from businesses like Peavy’s Garage are what keep us going, providing sustenance and support to individuals and families.”
