Billings and Belgrade veterans receive free cars ahead of Veterans Day
BELGRADE, Montana — Two veterans from Billings and Belgrade received free cars through Progressive Insurance's Keys to Progress program ahead of Veterans Day. Several local nonprofits and businesses helped identify people who needed a vehicle for the giveaway. Progressive said the program aimed to make a positive and life-changing difference for veterans who served the country. The company also said this was the first year it and its partners were able to give away two cars in Montana. "This is kind of one way that we can help to give back and apply that golden rule to the people who have made the biggest difference. And that's our veterans. You know, they've given everything to serve our country, and it's a really good way for us to give back," said Megan Webster with Progressive. Both recipients declined to speak with NonStop Local. Progressive runs the program every year and applications open in the spring for veterans looking for help getting a car.
