Giving Back

We wanted to take moment and thank all of you that have rented from us this past spring. It really has been an amazing year for us. When we started this business a few years ago we wanted to do a few things- 1. Provide a way that we could stay in a place we love. 2. Find a way to provide employment for some of the citizens that could become year round, so they can stay here as well. 3. Be able to give back to the community.

Now let me explain a little bit, Moab is a tourist town and most of the jobs are tourist related. Once the season ends many people are without jobs and have to go on unemployment and still struggle to get by. We wanted to be able to provide some jobs for people that they can rely on year after year. I think we have accomplished this in a small scale and hopefully as we grow we will be able to provide for more families in our area. We also wanted to give back to the community, we have not been able to give a lot but we try to give where we can. The other day a lady came in and thanked us for a donation that we made to the local teen center and how if it were not for the teen center she would not be able to work. This made us feel good of course and then we realized that we were helping to provide care and support for this family year round by supporting something that helped others in the community sustain their lives.

We were also able to give a donation to a family that was struggling to cover the medical costs of a family member that had been diagnosed with breast cancer and even though our donation was small hopefully it will help a little.

And for something fun we sponsored a local girls tball team. Team Canyonlands Jeep Adventures.

One of the reasons why I wanted to blog about this is that I think it is important for people to know what you stand for. Yes, it may be a little prideful to toot your own horn, but you have quite a few choices of who you can rent your next vehicle from and I justed wanted to point out that when you rent from us you are helping us do something we love as well as helping our families, but more importantly you are helping us with our mission of helping those around us. Thank you for choosing Canyonlands Jeep Adventures and at least looking at our website and blog.

PS- Rent a Jeep from us :)
