So Much More Than Cars
Southern Maryland is more than where we do business. It’s where our customers, employees, families, and friends live, work, learn, and build their lives.
What Does Our Community Involvement Include?
At Southern Maryland Auto Group, we believe being part of the community means doing more than selling and servicing vehicles. It means supporting the organizations, schools, nonprofits, volunteers and local programs that make Southern Maryland a better place to call home. Each year, SOMD Auto and our dealerships proudly support organizations throughout Charles County, Calvert County, St. Mary’s County and the surrounding Southern Maryland region. From youth programs and local schools to health organizations, food assistance, the arts and services for families in need, these partnerships reflect our commitment to giving back to the communities that have supported us.
Our community partnerships represent a wide range of causes, but they all have one thing in common: they help strengthen the place we call home.
