Rich DiLorenzo, the owner of Somerset Hills Exxon at 545 Martinsville Road, is planning to donate 5 cents of every gallon sold on Oct. 21, 22, and 23. He is also planning on matching the donated amount.
“I can’t go down there and build a house so I might as well send some money,” said DiLorenzo. “I’ve been blessed my whole life and my business and I have got to return it and pay it forward.”
