PORTLAND AUTO REPAIR

This will be DuFresne's 3rd year collecting coats, hats, gloves, and blankets for the needy.  Last year we collected for Portland Rescue Mission.  2015 we will also be collecting for Portland Rescue Mission.  If you bring in a coat to DuFresne's during the month of November we will give you a $5.00 coupon and a $2.00 coupon for every coat after that.  Please make sure they are clean and gently worn.  Please don't bring in apparel that would be better suited for the garbage can.

The first year we had a hard time filling the barrel. Nancy ran to Costco at the end of the promotion and bought food to fill the barrel. Our FREE BRAKES has grown steadily over the course of 11 years. We now have a POD to hold the food during the month. We have customers who store food all year and drop off at our POD. We even have customers that drop food before the month starts. Over the course of the years we have given away over 1000 FREE BRAKES to customers and have made the OFB TOP 10 list of donations 2 years in a row. If you would like us to check your brakes give us a call to make an appointment or E-mail Tee at [email protected]. Bring in a grocery bag of food when you dro ... read more
