We’re launching our 12th annual Oil Change for Hope event through the entire months of May and June. All funds will go directly to Hope Chest for Breast Cancer, a non-profit organization that provides Emergency Assistance Grants to support local breast cancer patients and their families as they continuously fight to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with breast cancer treatment.
$1 of every Oil Change at all Apple Autos locations during the month of May will go towards Hope Chest — up to $10,000!
“Apple Autos partnership is truly one of a kind,” Hope Chest’s Executive Director, Jamie Flaws states. “Their support has helped us to raise awareness of the work we do and provided essential funding to help local women and their families. We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with them again in our 20th anniversary.”
In addition to oil changes, customers and employees will have the opportunity to make donations online and on-site at the dealerships, as well as show their support by visiting the Hope Chest store located on 3850 Shoreline Drive, Wayzata MN 55391.

While patients focus on the fight for their lives, Hope Chest brings relief by:
- Helping patients stay in the comfort of their homes
- Keeping heat and lights on
- Putting nutritious food in their fridge
- Providing transportation and child care so they can attend treatments
The Hope Chest Story
Hope Chest for Breast Cancer founder Barbara Hensley lost her two sisters to breast cancer. She witnessed firsthand the financial challenges that breast cancer patients and their families face.
After meeting more patients and hearing their stories, Barbara knew something had to be done to ease the burdens that insurance doesn’t cover. So, she turned heartbreak into action. In 2001, Barbara resigned from her corporate executive position and founded Hope Chest for Breast Cancer. The first Hope Chest for Breast Cancer Resale Shop opened in Orono, Minnesota in November, 2002.
Hope Chest Commitment
Today, Hope Chest has grown from Barbara Hensley’s dream into an impactful, multifaceted organization with passionate, skilled staff and a dedicated Board of Directors. They are as committed as ever to the cause, because they believe that no family should face financial ruin while they fight cancer.
