Bert’s Builds First House From 5k Funds and Donations

Today (Wednesday, November 8) stands as a momentous occasion for one family, as they become the first beneficiaries of a new ‘Food for the Poor’ house, a result of the Bert’s 5K Run/Walk event held in the corporate area a few weeks ago. This heartwarming development took place in Melrose Mews, Williamsfield – Manchester.

The house began today and was completed hours later! Tears welled up as the new homeowners watched the house take shape.

Meanwhile in an interview with CVM TV, Bert’s Auto Parts CEO, Bert Tomlinson Junior, emphasized that the October 2023 event was more than just a typical 5K experience – as the Manchester family was the first of ten winners who will own their own space.
