Wilson has announced a second gas giveaway on March 24, this time worth $1 million.

50 gas stations across the city will participate in the free gas giveaway. Each station is also agreeing to lower their gasoline prices during the event to allow more families to benefit from Wilson's generosity.

"The need among the community is so great," Wilson said. "Soaring gas prices have caused a hardship for too many of our citizens."

"I am confident that with God's help and wisdom we will get through these tough times together. This is our second gas giveaway in one week. The need is great, I want to help. If I can help somebody as I pass along this way, then my living is not in vain."
