Forge Flint

🚗✨ 900 cars. 900 stories ✨🚗 Last month we celebrated a huge milestone at the Forge Garage - our 900th car repaired for families in our community!

In the month of October we had volunteers from Central Church of the Nazarene - Flint come give their time at Forge Garage. They helped out us out with some facility upgrades and we could not be more thankful!

📣Volunteer Spotlight 📣
Everyone meet our volunteer Knox. Knox has been volunteering his time at Forge Garage since July 2023. His passion for learning and hard work has made an impact at the garage enabling us to better serve our community. Knox is kicking off our apprenticeship program this Fall to equip himself with the skills to become a certified mechanic. Thank you Knox for your commitment to Forge Garage. We are so fortunate to have you part of the team!

We hope everyone had a fun and relaxing Labor Day weekend! As summer is coming to an end, we want to say a big thank you to Cross Community Church of the Nazarene and First Presbyterian Church of Flint for volunteering their time over the last few months. They helped clean up the shop/lot, painted and laid carpet in our office, and painted us a new Forge sign. We are beyond grateful for their help!

🚙 WE ARE THANKFUL FOR YOU. 🫶🏼We are truly grateful for our great team, volunteers, partners and donors who make our impact real every day!

“we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing‐oriented” society to a “person‐oriented” society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered…True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice, which produces beggars needs restructuring. A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth.” - Beyond Vietnam | MLK Jr. (April 1967)
