Dozens of South Florida drivers receive free gas thanks to local credit union

Many people have been feeling the pain at the pump recently as gas prices continue to skyrocket, but some drivers in South Florida received a little bit of much-needed help Wednesday morning help thanks to a local credit union.

In response to the high gas prices and the huge financial strain many families are feeling, SUN Credit Union gave back to the community by holding a gas giveaway event as a Hollywood gas station.

SUN Credit Union provided free gas to the first 50 vehicles in line, up to $50, at the Marathon Gas Station located on Hollywood Boulevard across the street from the Hollywood Police Department in Broward County.

SUN Credit Union employees even pumped the gas for drivers.

But drivers needed to act fast.

The event was held for an hour – from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. – and was offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
