Tampa’s Ferman Motor Car Company has donated $1 million to aid Hurricane Helene relief efforts, in Tampa Bay. The funds will support families of first responders who lost homes in the storm.

“Our hearts are broken for those impacted by this storm,” said Jim Ferman, head of the family-owned automotive company. “We aim to support first responders and community leaders who have put others first.”

The donation will help local police, sheriff’s departments, Metropolitan Ministries, Meals on Wheels and the U.S. Coast Guard.

Founded nearly 130 years ago, Ferman operates more than a dozen locations in the region.
