Dealership Giving Away Another Free Car This Holiday Season

HOMEWOOD, IL — A south suburban car dealership will once again give away a free new car to a family in need this holiday season. The Homewood Chevy Cares Car Giveaway is back at Chevrolet of Homewood, with submissions from families and individuals wishing to be considered for the giveaway being accepted in just a few days.

Last year, it was the Maszak family in Homewood who won a 2019 Chevrolet Sonic so Robert and Sandra Maszak could better transport their great-granddaughter, Tori. Tori was born with cerebral palsy.

Winners do not have to live in Homewood, however. The Maszaks were actually the first Homewood residents to win the car since the dealership began the yearly giveaway back in 2015.

The submission period will run from Nov. 1 through Dec. 15. Voting will be held the week of Dec. 15 and the winner announced on Dec. 20. Delivery of the car to the winner's home will be on Christmas Eve like in years past.

Anyone who wants to nominate themselves or another to be entered to win the free car must submit an essay explaining why winning the car will change their life or the life of the person they are nominating. The essays can be submitted online here beginning on Nov. 1 or mailed to Chevrolet of Homewood, 18033 Halsted St. Homewood, IL 60430 attn: Homewood Chevy Cares Essay Contest. All essays will be posted on the dealership's website on Dec. 16.

Homewood Chevrolet Owner Steve Phillipos talks more about the giveaway and why they do it every year in the video below.
