Now through May 19th, all Kent Kwik Locations will be collecting donations for The Helen Keller Foundation. The mission of the foundation is “Based on the legacy of Helen Keller, the Foundation strives to prevent blindness and deafness by advancing research and education.  The Foundation aspires to be a leader in integrating sight, speech and hearing research with the greater biomedical research community, creating and coordinating a peer-reviewed, worldwide network of investigators and institutions.”

The Kent Companies has been donating to The Helen Keller Foundation for five years and is excited to expand the scope of the donation to the stores.

On Monday, March 25th, The Kent Companies opened their 47th Kent Kwik location in Haskell, Texas. This location is a full 24/7 travel center and Rustic Cafe. During opening day, a grand opening event was held that featured giveaways, raffle prizes and ribbon cuttings with the Haskell Chamber of Commerce.

Followed by the ribbon cutting was a check presentation to the Haskell Fire Department for the amount of $5,000. Casey Moeller,  Haskell Department Fire Chief, said this money will go towards purchasing new equipment.

Haskell is a new market for Kent Kwik and it is important to show involvement in the community right away. The Kent Companies firmly believes in supporting the communities that support them and this is only the beginning.
