See What’s in Store for Kendall Central Oregon’s 12 Days of Caring, Kicking Off on December 1st!

November 2nd, 2026 by

Join us in celebrating our customers, co-workers, and community with 12 Days of Caring! Kendall’s ‘12 Days of Caring’ is a series of holiday events designed to give back to the markets we serve through a variety of outreach activities centered around our customers, the community, and our employees. Each year, we spend 12 days focusing on our Kendall Cares mission, giving back to local non-profit organizations, and showing appreciation for our customers and employees. To get a better idea of what we have in store, let’s get this sleigh on the road!

 

DAY ONE – On the first day of 12 Days of Caring, Kendall Central Oregon team members will be entered in a drawing to win the “Merry Must-Haves” basket, full of goodies to start the Holiday season off successfully. 

DAY TWO – We are thrilled to partner with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office for the second year to support their annual Shop with a Cop program. Kendall Central Oregon team members will be joining the deputies to provide an unforgettable Holiday experience for families in need, wrapping gifts and spreading Holiday cheer. 

DAY THREE – On the 3rd Day of 12 Days of Caring, we are joining the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office for another incredible Shop with a Cop event to support more families in Central Oregon! On day two we will be in Redmond, and day three in Bend at Walmart. 

DAY FOUR – On the 4th Day of 12 Days of Caring, Yule have to excuse our ugly sweaters. Kendall Central Oregon team members will rock their best (ugliest) Holiday sweaters, with prizes for the worst dressed employees!

DAY FIVE – One of our favorite fundraisers is almost here, the St. Charles Hospice Auction! Kendall Central Oregon will be donating a tree for guests to bid on, titled “The Kendallorian: A Merry Force-Mas.” The St. Charles Hospice Auction takes place on Saturday, December 5th at the Crook County Fairgrounds. We not only encourage our community to go to the event, but to bid on the tree decorated with love and Star Wars inspired items, donated by Kendall in partnership with Lowes. 

DAY SIX – We invite our customers and community to check out the lights on a few of our stores as you drive around town to witness the Holiday Magic! Stay tuned for “Light the Night 4,” a short film developed by our Kendall team for joy and laughs. 

DAY SEVEN – On day seven of 12 Days of Caring, coffee is on us. The Kendall team has partnered with Backporch Coffee for our annual coffee giveaway, where we will be paying for customers’ coffee at the Backporch Drive Thru! We can’t tell you when, but keep your eyes peeled for the Kendall team in Holiday costumes and swing on in! 

DAY EIGHT – On the 8th Day of 12 Days of Caring, Kendall Central Oregon team members will participate in a White Elephant Gift Exchange! Our team members are currently shopping for the funniest, most outrageous gifts to share the joy of gift-giving with one another. 

DAY NINE – The Kendall team is extremely grateful for our partnership with the Ronald McDonald House, which is why we will be delivering stockings to the families staying there this Holiday Season. There will be a little something for everyone, including the kiddos receiving care, their siblings, and the parents going through an extremely difficult time. 

DAY TEN – On day ten of 12 Days of Caring, the Kendall team will participate in one of the jolliest competitions of the year: A gingerbread house making contest! Little do they know, these are not classic holiday houses they will be building, they’re something a little more… auto themed. 

DAY ELEVEN – On the 11th day of 12 Days of Caring, we plan on filling hearts by fueling your tank! The Kendall Central Oregon team will be out around Bend at various gas stations, filling the tanks of our amazing customers with Kendall plate frames!

DAY TWELVE – Oh deer, it’s the last day of 12 Days of Caring! Kendall Auto Group will be celebrating the Holidays together with our staff and families. We hope everyone gets time with their loved ones this Holiday Season!
