Dozens of cars lined up at the Marathon on South Magnolia Drive in Tallahassee Friday as faith leaders organized a Good Friday gas giveaway.<\/p>\n
Faith leaders organize free gas giveaway<\/p>\n
Faith leaders say they felt compelled to take action as neighbors continue to feel the pinch at the pump due to the conflict in Iran.<\/p>\n
According to AAA<\/a>, the average price for a gallon of regular in Tallahassee is $4.11. That’s up more than $1 from just one month ago ($2.93).<\/p>\n Faith groups held the giveaway from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, offering up to $40 worth of gas to 100 vehicles.<\/p>\n “With the rising of gas prices, they were already on a tight budget. This is really teetering some people off of the line of being able to survive,” Pastor Otis Young with Kingdom Life Tabernacle said.<\/p>\n Young says donations from the church community helped make this giveaway possible.<\/p>\n He says he’s having conversations with other pastors to potentially host more giveaways in other parts of the community soon.<\/p>\n Want to see more local news?
