DISTRICT HEIGHTS, Md. – The Collective Empowerment Group, a coalition of church leaders including Pastor Bobby Manning of the First Baptist Church of District Heights, is doing their next Gas Station Takeover on October 14 starting at 8:30 AM.
Free gas will be available until supplies run out at the Royal Farms at 3300 Forestville Road, 5200 Auth Road, 9770 Landover Road, and 5351 Ritchie Marlboro Road along with the Shell Gas Station at 8301 Central Avenue.
When this event was held last year, lines stretched for miles as gas prices were particularly high. Pastor Manning recorded a video while walking down the gas line. “We got folks lined up to get free gas, and we brought all the cash so all they had to bring was their cars,” said Pastor Manning during a livestream during the most recent gas giveaway.

How much gas did they burn, waiting in the line…to get the free gas? 🤔
Is it worth your time?…or burning the gas you already had, creeping up the line?… I guess if you don’t have a job, or somewhere to be, you could spend your day waiting on a ‘free’ 10 gallons of gas.
10gal x $3.79 = $37.90
Can you calculate idle burn rates? Or are you just being ignorant for the sake of it. Let people do good.
But……they are 100 percent correct with their statement
It’s like the people that win the lotto for 50k after spending 100k during a lifetime of playing the odds.
Great point. That’s why I went electric!
I must say this is very offensive. This is a great way to support the elderly in our community! There are parents, veterans,teachers,healthcare workers,and more who have severed the community for many years that rely on a small retirement or SSI. Which is not half of their contribution to society. Let’s praise the work of the collaboration of churches who provided the resources of the community. Thank you very much!
