If you’re looking for a place to get gas, pumping up at Yates Auto in the Braddock neighborhood will also benefit a local homeless shelter.

Yates Auto at 217 E. Braddock Road is donating two cents per gallon of all gas sold in August to Carpenter’s Shelter, a local nonprofit that helps shelter and find homes for Alexandrians experiencing homelessness.

The donations started in July and will continue through the end of August.

“Fill up to help families and individuals go from homeless to housed,” a banner at the gas station advised.
