4 Shops. 2 Years. 1 Big Decision for the CSRA! 🛠️🏙️
The search is officially ON! We have narrowed it down to 4 potential shop locations across the CSRA that we will be touring next week. This is the biggest decision we’ve made yet, but we need your help to know which door to walk through.
Why a Shop? It’s about more than just a roof.
While our van has been a blessing, a permanent shop allows us to serve the community at a much higher level:
🚀 Increased Capacity: In a shop, we can work on multiple vehicles at once, regardless of rain, wind, or the Georgia heat.
🚀 Faster Turnaround: With all our tools and supplies in one place, we can get families back on the road much faster than we can in a driveway.
🚀 No More Limits: A shop finally ends our 50-mile mobile limit. If you can get your car to us, we can fix it—no matter where you live!
Wait—if we get a shop, does the van go away?
The answer is a loud NO. We are moving to a Hybrid Model to ensure no one is left behind:
✅ The Shop: Our high-capacity hub with a climate-controlled office for volunteers and a cool waiting room for families.
✅ The Van: We will STILL offer mobile repairs for those within our 50-mile radius who simply cannot get their vehicle to the shop.
The Challenge: Finding the "Goldilocks" Space
Each location requires a 2-year lease, with rent ranging from $1,200 to $2,250 a month (plus utilities). Our priority is finding a shop that is not too small—we want a space that allows for the most GROWTH so we don't outgrow it in a few months.
But we can only sign a 2-year lease on the larger "Growth Shop" if we have the monthly support to back it up. We are looking for:
⚡ The Power Partner ($200/mo): Keeps the shop lights on and the office AC running for our families and volunteers. (Our electric will cost around $200/mo).
🛠️ The Service Partner ($50/mo): Covers the cost of specialized tools and shop supplies needed to keep both the shop and the van running at full speed.
🏗️ The Foundation Crew ($25/mo): Enough people at this crew level will help us confidently secure that 2-year lease on the right-sized building.
Every Bit Counts!
Whether you can commit to $10 a month or $250 a month, every single monthly donation helps us bridge the gap. No gift is too small—when we all chip in, we can afford the space that serves the MOST people.
Running a shop and a van means our overhead is growing, but so is our impact. Will you help us double our reach? Your monthly commitment determines which lease we can afford to sign next week!
