Community Involvement | Prestige Toyota of Kingston
At Prestige Toyota of Kingston, we know that our success is deeply rooted in the incredible Kingston and Ulster County communities that have supported us for years. That is why we believe our responsibility as a dealership extends far beyond the showroom floor. From hosting safe, family-friendly events like our annual Trunk or Treat, to empowering local student-athletes, supporting animal welfare, and fighting food insecurity, Prestige Toyota is dedicated to giving back. We are deeply honored to partner with these extraordinary local organizations that work tirelessly to uplift and enrich our community every single day. Discover the initiatives we proudly champion below.
Kids In Need Foundation
We are incredibly proud to support the Kids In Need Foundation's Supply A Student program. This vital initiative equips students in under-resourced elementary schools with brand-new backpacks filled with essential school supplies. By ensuring these students have the tools they need, we are helping to boost their daily preparedness, classroom participation, and overall confidence.

Celebrating our local families is what it's all about! Our dealership proudly participates in the Annual Kingston Children’s Parade, bringing our community together for a day of costumes, performances, and incredible floats.

We love joining in on the festivities, which wrap up with a spectacular free carnival complete with a gaming trailer, virtual reality tent, and inflatable laser tag.
