“The need among the community is so great. Soaring gas prices have caused a hardship for too many of our citizens,” Wilson wrote in a March 23 press release. “The average price of regular gas has gone well over $4 a gallon for the first time in nearly 14 years and is now up nearly 50 percent from last year. The war in Ukraine, a ban on Russian oil, and high taxes are contributing to rising fuel prices.”
According to Wilson’s team, 48 participating gas station owners have agreed to lower prices at their pumps so Wilson’s donation will reach more families.
