The single moms oil change event is held twice a year for single moms with kids living at home.

In past years, there have been approximately seven mechanics and 15 other volunteers running the event, this year due to the pandemic, there are a total of 15 volunteers, in order to keep the event COVID safe.

鈥淢uch of the event is outdoors but we want to keep everyone as safe as possible,鈥 added Bredy.

Over the years, the event has grown more popular throughout the community.

鈥淚t鈥檚 really popular, often the case for single moms is that, they need reliable transportation but they don鈥檛 have the ability to maintain their vehicles,鈥 said Bredy.

The event is on On Sunday, Oct. 24 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Church in the Valley located on 23589 Old Yale Road.

Registration for the event ends on Oct. 20.
