Community Outreach
At Shawnee Mission Ford, community outreach is not an obligation — it is a core part of who we are and how we operate every day. We believe a successful business has a responsibility to actively invest in the people, schools, organizations, and first responders who make our community a better place to live and work. Our commitment goes beyond the dealership walls as we strive to build meaningful relationships, support local needs, and create a lasting positive impact wherever we can.
We are dedicated to showing up consistently, listening to our community, and finding ways to contribute that truly matter. Whether it’s supporting education, honoring first responders, helping families in need, or participating in local traditions and events, our goal is to be a dependable partner that the community can count on year after year.
At Shawnee Mission Ford, giving back to our community isn’t just something we do — it’s who we are. We are proud to actively support and participate in programs, events, and initiatives that make a meaningful difference throughout our local area.
Over the years, our team has been honored to take part in Teacher Appreciation efforts, school supply drives, food donations, and toy drives supporting local families and shelters. We’ve delivered cookies to our local police department, provided lunches for firefighters, and helped support field trips hosted right here at the dealership to give students a unique, hands-on experience.
We are also proud sponsors and participants in community traditions such as Old Shawnee Days, where we join in the parade each year, as well as Cars in the Park, the Turkey Creek Car and Motorcycle Show, and Special Olympics events that bring our community together in powerful ways.
Beyond events, our commitment extends to supporting local organizations and causes — including donations to area animal shelters and ongoing involvement with the Mustang Club. We also open our doors to the next generation by hosting Career Day visits for local middle school students, helping inspire future careers in the automotive industry.
One of our favorite annual traditions is hosting our own Trunk or Treat event at the dealership, creating a safe, fun, and family-friendly experience for the community.
At Shawnee Mission Ford, we are proud to stand beside our neighbors, support local families, and invest in the community we call home.
If you are a local business, organization, school, nonprofit, or community group and are interested in a partnership, sponsorship, or collaboration of any kind, we would love to hear from you. Shawnee Mission Ford is always looking for meaningful ways to support and engage with the community we serve — whether that’s through local events, charitable initiatives, school programs, fundraising efforts, or other community-driven opportunities.
If you have an idea or event where we may be able to help make a difference, please reach out to us.
