MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Kai Trimble-Lea owns the gas station at 8th and Atkinson in Milwaukee. Monday morning, cars lined up there for free gas.
"Everyone was excited, we saw some tears, so it was a blessing," Trimble-Lea said.
The Greater Milwaukee Foundation donated $20,000 for a gas giveaway and chose this station. Gift cards were handed out at the Juneteenth festival Sunday and more were passed out Monday.
Each car got $50 worth of gas.
Timble-Lea says she expects to do this again, though she doesn't know when.
