Kumho Tire U.S.A. Inc. will provide tires to veterans in need through the recently-launched Georgia Veterans Tire Assistance program.

"Building on its recently-announced partnership with the Georgia Veterans Service Foundation (GVSF), the company will provide 50 eligible veterans across Georgia experiencing financial hardship with certificates redeemable for a full set of four replacement tires, representing 200 tires valued at more than $50,000," say Kumho officials.

“When we announced our partnership with the Georgia Veterans Service Foundation, our goal was to identify meaningful ways to support Georgia’s veterans and their families,” says Edmund Cho, CEO of Kumho Tire U.S.A. “The Georgia Veterans Tire Assistance Program puts that commitment into action by helping veterans maintain reliable transportation for work, appointments, family commitments and everyday needs.” 

“The Georgia Veterans Service Foundation is grateful to Kumho Tire for this generous donation to help Georgia veterans continue traveling safely and stay connected to their communities,” says Joe Higgins, board chair of the Georgia Veterans Service Foundation. “These tire certificates will provide meaningful assistance to veterans by improving mobility, safety and access to essential resources.”  

The GVSF will oversee recipient selection and distribute tire certificates to selected veterans throughout the year. If an applicant is not selected, their application may be considered in the following quarters. Veterans interested in applying for the assistance program must meet certain eligibility requirements, such as being a veteran of the United States Armed Forces, residing in Georgia and owning or regularly operating the vehicle for which tires are requested.
