Help God’s Garage Win Big for Our Community – Vote Today!

A powerful opportunity is on the table for a local nonprofit doing life-changing work in the White Lake area—and they need your vote to make it happen.

Great Lakes Energy is hosting its annual Community Grant Giveaway, and one of the standout finalists is God’s Garage of Whitehall, a ministry of the Evangelical Covenant Church. This grant could provide crucial funding to continue and expand their mission: providing reliable vehicles and essential auto repairs at no cost to mothers/fathers, widows/widowers, the elderly, or anyone in need.

Voting is open now through June 20, 2025!

Why God’s Garage Matters

God’s Garage isn’t just fixing cars—they’re helping people regain independence, confidence, and peace of mind. For many recipients, having access to safe and reliable transportation is the missing link to employment, education, and stability for their families.

Here’s how it works:

  • Volunteers repair vehicles or provide donated cars.
  • Services are free for qualifying individuals.
  • Every recipient is encouraged, supported, and valued throughout the process.

In a time when inflation and transportation costs are rising, this kind of support can truly be the difference between surviving and thriving.
