The roar of engines will be joined by the spirit of generosity today in downtown Summerville, as the dedicated members of the Roman Jeep Brigade host their 5th Annual “FILL THE JEEP” Bookbag & School Supply Drive. From 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, the community is invited to bring much-needed school supplies to 11021 Commerce Street, helping local students prepare for a successful academic year.

This annual event aims to lessen the financial burden on families by ensuring all students have the essential tools they need to thrive in the classroom. Attendees who contribute a bookbag filled with school supplies will receive an entry into a drawing for a $50 gift card, adding an extra incentive to support this vital community effort.

The Roman Jeep Brigade, founded in 2021 by Chad Reynolds, began as a simple gathering of off-roading enthusiasts sharing a common passion. What started as “a little idea” has since blossomed into a robust group of over 400 members, evolving beyond trail rides to embrace significant community service initiatives like the school supply drive.

“I simply bought a Jeep, fell in love with off-roading, and wanted people with the same passion to join me,” said Chad Reynolds about the Brigade’s origins. “The group has grown tremendously and has branched out to community service like the school supply drive. Roman Jeep Brigade went from a little idea, to big dreams. At the end of the day, we are just good people, with great Jeeps, trying to do amazing things.”

The “FILL THE JEEP” event embodies the Brigade’s commitment to making a positive impact in the Summerville area. Residents are encouraged to stop by 11021 Commerce Street today to contribute and help fill Jeeps with supplies, ensuring local students head back to school equipped and ready to learn.
