Executive Director | | | | | |  | Dillon Chevrolet to be awarded the Human Service Forum Business Award! Dillon Chevrolet is a car dealership and repair shop in Greenfield, Massachusetts owned by brothers Jay & Tom Dillon, Jr. Tom and Jay bought the dealership from their father in 1998 and have been working together to run the business ever since. Tom does sales, while Jay does the service end. Tom serves on The United Arc Board of Directors and is one of the auctioneers for The United Arc Annual Gala & Auction. In November 2015, Dillon Chevrolet donated a 2008 Hyundai Entourage van to The United Arc. The van supports The United Arc’s Community Service Program, which facilitates community participation for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Dillon Chevrolet was a Special Sponsor of The United Arc Gala & Auction in 2016 and 2017, and drew in other businesses as sponsors and donors. We are delighted that the Human Service Forum is recognizing Dillon Chevrolet's support of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities with the Business Award at their 2018 Annual Awards Banquet. | | | |  | Celebrating our dedicated staff Congratulations to our staff who reach milestones of service this year!
