Ford Drive 4 Ur School has been around since 2007, but having it in Libby this year was a unique opportunity.

Over the years, the Drive 4 Ur School program has raised over $40 million for schools across the country, and on May 4, Timberline Auto had the opportunity to setup test drives to benefit students at Libby Middle High School.

For each test drive taken, Ford was able to donate $20. At the end of the day, 149 parents test drove one of the Ford vehicles available in the school parking lot, and Timberline Auto was able to raise $2,980 for Libby schools to be used in support various programs.

If you missed out on Drive 4 Ur School, don’t worry, there is still time to help fight child hunger by participating in the Ford Peanut Butter Drive which started on May 1 and will end on May 31. Peanut butter donations can be dropped of at Timberline Auto Center, located at 617 Mineral Ave. in Libby.
