The saying, “A little goes a long way,” was given new meaning on the Northside of Jacksonville as hundreds of people lined up for free gas.
“It’s amazing. It’s meeting the need for the community,” Eileen Chatman said. “You’d be surprised how many people are driving with no gas.”
Free gas may seem like a simple gesture, but it goes a long way as the price for a gallon of gas ranges between $3 and $4 or more.“When I got out here around 6:30, we had about 50 cars already, and so we were so blessed to be able to serve,” Gaffney said. As the price of gas continues to rise and drop only by a few pennies per day, many are driving away grateful for a little help during a difficult time.Open Arms and Albyssian Baptist Church volunteered to help pump gas. About 500 cars in total received $20 of free gas.
