In a significant display of corporate philanthropy, General RV Center has contributed over $100,000 to various charitable organizations across the United States in 2023.

These pillars frame the company’s support for a broad spectrum of charitable missions, including accessible healthcare services, educational programs, professional mentoring opportunities, recreational and community services, and food banks, according to a press release.
Chris Davis, president of General RV, expressed the company’s pride in its ability to aid numerous organizations.
“We are focused on helping campers make memories in the great outdoors. We recognize it is our responsibility to support the communities where we live, work, and play. Whether it is a monetary donation, product donation, or when our employees volunteer – we are dedicated to serving our communities,” Davis said.
