3:46Now PlayingIDAHO FALLS -- For Christon Gray, walking to two jobs in chilly weather was just a part of his everyday routine.
A number of local business owners saw Gray's on-foot commutes and wanted to make his travel time a lot shorter.
So they decided to get together and give him a used Toyota Avalon.
“We just figured out a way where we could all pool together and put some money in and help him with a ride,” New Image Car Wash owner Trent Birth says.
Owners from Branded Auto in Rigby rallied at least 20 businesses to sponsor the car for Gray. The car was brought into New Image Auto, where Gray and other workers were assigned to wash it. When Gray went to give the keys back, people from the community were waiting in the lobby to surprise him.
"It was all a surprise to me," Gray says. "It’s a great opportunity to have some transportation."
