Discount Tire and their Driven to Care program awarded The Drake House $19,500 to support the expansion of the Career Services Program. The Career Services Program expansion will allow Drake Village clients as well as alumnae to receive ongoing support to continue to improve employment and incomes.

Kathryn Woerner, Career Coach for The Drake House, said, The generosity of Discount Tire through Driven to Care will enable us to provide the specialized attention that is needed for our residents to improve and increase their employment.

Founded in 2005 and funded by regional tires sales, the program makes grant monies available to the wives of Discount Tires regional vice presidents and assistant vice presidents. These dedicated and passionate women volunteer their time to research important local issues and give to charitable organizations that make a difference in their local communities.
