Lithia & Driveway Gives Back

We don't only work in our communities–our families live in them, and we are going the extra mile to improve the lives of the people we serve.

Quarterly Focuses

We want to unify our stores across the U.S. in their individual community efforts. Each quarter, Lithia & Driveway will focus on a different national community effort that any of our stores can choose to participate in locally. Ultimately, focus ensures that a company’s community engagement efforts are meaningful, impactful, and aligned with its long-term goals, ensuring efforts are cohesive and substantive.
