Partnership and Sponsorship

Auto Parts Warehouse supports programs intended for US Military service members. In October 2013, it has announced its partnership with Operation Homefront and donated one percent of its total sales during the Veterans Day weekend (November 8 to 11) to the Emergency Assistance Program. The program provides emergency financial assistance, auto and home repair, moving assistance, travel and transportation, food assistance, and vision care, among other forms of aid to military members and their families. A check amounting to US $8,000 was presented by the company's CEO, Shane Evangelist, to Operation Homefront in December 2013 during the Thanksgiving week. The "Veterans Day Heroes Salute sought to both raise awareness about the unique needs of service members and to help support military families," according to Shane Evangelist.

The company also initiated other campaigns to continuously support military service men and women. In April 2014, the company introduced the Heroes Automobile Gallery, where active service members and veterans can post pictures of their vehicle and share their own stories. The program also offers 20% military discount on automotive parts. Among other initiatives and activities, Auto Parts Warehouse was able to help restore the vehicles of military service members and veterans. In March 2013, it welcomed Staff Sergeant Ben Sorensen, who was returning home from service, with a fully repaired 1987 Chevy Blazer and some gift certificates. The company donated the needed automotive parts and arranged the vehicle repair with free labor from Dave's Complete Auto Service of Layton, Utah. In July 2014, army veteran Sergeant Rick Robertson also received free automotive parts for the repair of his 2005 Dodge Ram 15000 SLT 4x4, along with a gift certificate from the company.
