ALBION – Joe and Heather Tomasino, owners of Joe’s Tires LLC, have generously donated backpacks and tires to Community Action of Orleans and Genesee.

This contribution will support the agency’s mission to assist individuals and families in achieving self-sufficiency and improving their quality of life.

Joe’s Tires LLC at 15753 Ridge Rd. W in the Town of Murray is committed to giving back to the community. When the Tomasinos purchased Transit Tire in December 2023, they wanted to continue the legacy of affordable tires and excellent customer service, but they had no way of knowing just how much the community would embrace the new business.

“We are so grateful to this county for their support,” said Joe Tomasino. “We wanted to give back in a meaningful way that benefited everyone.”

When Tomasino talked to the representative from Continental Tires, they were quick to add their support by contributing the backpacks. This support between customers and businesses exemplifies community partnerships and highlights the importance of local businesses fostering community development.

Community Action of Orleans and Genesee is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing services and programs that address the needs of low-income residents in the region. Their initiatives include emergency services, employment support, education, and housing assistance, all aimed at empowering community members to overcome economic challenges.

The donation from Joe’s Tires LLC will directly benefit the community by providing essential resources to those in need. The backpacks will be distributed to students and individuals requiring basic supplies, while the tires will aid in transportation needs, ensuring safe and reliable travel for families and individuals.

“We are deeply grateful to Joe and Heather Tomasino for their generous donation,” said Renee Hungerford, CEO of Community Action of Orleans and Genesee. “Contributions like these enable us to continue our work in supporting the community and making a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.”
