At a time when students across the city are preparing for one of the most memorable nights of their young lives—prom—Somerville Auto Group in Emery Village quietly made a big difference.
When the team at Somerville Auto Group saw an ad seeking prom dress donations for local teens who may not have access to formal wear, they didn’t hesitate. Staff members gathered together, spread the word within their workplace, and collected a generous selection of beautiful gowns. One of their senior managers even made the delivery personally—no fanfare, just kindness.
In addition to donating dresses, Somerville Auto Group also raised funds for the Children’s Breakfast Club, supporting their ongoing mission to provide meals and resources to children across the city. It was a gesture that went above and beyond—completely unprompted, purely from the heart.
It’s moments like these that remind us what community really means. Prom is more than just a night out. For many young people, it’s a celebration of a major milestone, a chance to feel proud, confident, and included. Being able to show up and participate can have a lasting impact on a teen’s self-esteem and sense of belonging.
Somerville Auto Group, located at 75 Arrow Road, has long been a fixture in Emery Village. Family-owned and proudly Canadian, they’ve built a reputation for integrity, professionalism, and strong community spirit. Their team didn’t make this donation for recognition—but they deserve a thank you.
To everyone at Somerville Auto Group who took part—thank you. Your generosity means more than you know. In a world where it’s easy to focus on what’s wrong, it’s heartening to see a business do something so right.
