$1 off Gas on June 6th in Lexington with “People Helping People” Effort

Pain at the pump has turned into People Helping People. A grassroots effort in Lexington has taken off with the end result being $1 per gallon taken off of the price of up to 25 gallons of gas at “The Party Store” Marathon gas station on Main Street in Lexington, The sale is for one day only: June 6th.

Six thousand gallons of gas are available, donated by business owners who wanted to help out. A local businessman, Tim Hering, heard someone making the difficult choice between food or gas, and the idea behind “People Helping People” was born.

Hering, who owns Lakeshore Graphics, said that he wanted to inspire people. He asked small business owners in the area to contribute $250 with a goal of $3000. So far, $6000 has been raised.

The crowd that is likely to make a trip to Lexington for the reduced gas prices will hopefully also patronize some of those same small businesses that made a donation toward the reduced-price gas, as the People Helping People initiative comes full circle.
