Community Involvement

Your Neighbor. Your Dealer.

Rooted in Hutchinson. Giving Back Every Day.

At Jay Malone Ford, we've been part of the Hutchinson, MN community for over 20 years — and we've never forgotten that the people of Hutchinson are the reason we're here. Being a family-owned dealership isn't just something we say. It means Jay, Jake, and Jordan Malone are active, invested members of this community long after the paperwork is signed.

From sponsoring youth athletics and school programs to serving on local boards and showing up at job fairs, our family is involved in the fabric of Hutchinson — not because it's good for business, but because this is home. Below is a look at where you'll find us when we're not on the lot.

Supporting Hutchinson Schools & Youth Sports

We believe in investing in the next generation of Hutchinson. That means showing up for the programs, teams, and organizations that shape young people in McLeod County — not just once, but year after year.

These are recent recipients — we support local schools, youth sports, and student organizations throughout the year. If your Hutchinson-area organization is looking for a community partner, we'd love to hear from you.

Invested in Hutchinson's Future

Community involvement at Jay Malone Ford goes beyond writing checks. The Malone family shows up in person — at board meetings, school events, and community gatherings — because they genuinely believe in the people and businesses that make Hutchinson a great place to live.

Voted Best in Hutchinson — By You

These awards aren't from industry groups or corporate headquarters. They come from the people of Hutchinson — your neighbors who voted us their favorite, year after year. That's the kind of recognition that means the most to us.

Serving Hutchinson and All of Central Minnesota

Our dealership is in Hutchinson, MN — but our community doesn't stop at city limits. We proudly serve drivers from Glencoe, Litchfield, Dassel, Cokato, Winsted, Silver Lake, Brownton, Willmar, Waconia, and communities throughout McLeod County and beyond. Wherever you're coming from in central Minnesota, you're welcome here.

Community Questions, Answered Honestly

What people ask us about our involvement in the Hutchinson community.

Does Jay Malone Ford donate to local schools and youth organizations?

Yes — and we do it because it matters, not because it looks good. Recent recipients include Hutchinson Junior League Baseball, Hutchinson Girls Lacrosse, Hutchinson Bass, Hutchinson Robotics, and Hutchinson Girls Basketball. We support local schools and youth programs throughout the year. If your organization is in the Hutchinson area and looking for a community partner, reach out — we'd love to talk.

Is Jay Malone Ford involved in the Hutchinson business community?

Absolutely. Jordan Malone-Forst, our Assistant General Manager, serves on the board of the Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce and is a member of the Hutchinson Ambassadors. She's present at local business events, ribbon cuttings, and Chamber gatherings because she's genuinely invested in the success of Hutchinson businesses — not just our own.

How long has Jay Malone Ford been part of the Hutchinson community?

Jay Malone has operated this dealership since 2005, and the location on Highway 7 West has served the Hutchinson community for over 45 years. This isn't a corporate-owned store looking at quarterly numbers — it's a family business where the owners live in the same community as their customers and care deeply about what happens here.

What makes Jay Malone Ford different from other dealerships in the area?

Community involvement is one piece of it. Jay Malone Ford has been voted Best Place to Buy a Vehicle, Best Auto Mechanic, Best Place to Buy Tires, and Best Auto Body Shop in Hutchinson — by the people of Hutchinson. We also never charge extra to locate a vehicle, we service all makes and models, and the Malone family is on the lot every day. That combination of trust, transparency, and genuine community investment is what keeps customers coming back for life.

Can my organization request a donation or sponsorship from Jay Malone Ford?

We'd love to hear from you. We prioritize Hutchinson-area schools, youth sports, and community organizations. Give us a call at 320-405-2575 or stop by 1165 Hwy 7 West and ask for Jordan or Jake.
