Central Collision Center Joins Effort to Hire Our Heroes


In a fight against veteran unemployment, Central Collision Center has become a supporting member of Hire Our Heroes, a campaign designed to help veterans and their families find meaningful employment.

Central Collision is participating in this nationwide campaign through 3M Collision Repair Solutions’ Automotive Aftermarket Division, who will donate funds to the Collision Repair Education Foundation and Operation Comfort based on sales of popular 3M products. Central Collision’s purchase of these products will help veterans pursue careers in the collision repair industry.

Funds donated to the Collision Repair Education Foundation will provide grants and scholarships to help cover tuition, classroom materials, tools and equipment for returning veterans. Donations to Operation Comfort will support rehabilitation for wounded veterans through a unique automotive skill-based rehabilitation program.

“I know first-hand how hard it is to return from service and start a career,” said Mike Caruso, owner of Central Collision and U.S. Military veteran. “I’m grateful 3M has created this opportunity for our industry to help.”
