AUGUST: FACT On the Go is Rolling in Flint!

Thanks to a generous Flint ReCAST grant, FACT officially launched FACT On the Go in August. We are grateful to the Flint ReCAST Community Advisory Board for trusting us to serve the Flint community and making this new mobile resource unit possible.

The mission of FACT On the Go is simple and direct: bring resources to families where they live. That means clothing, personal hygiene products, household cleaning goods, bedding, and other essentials. By partnering with local churches and community organizations, we are able to meet families where they are and remove the barrier of transportation.

Our very first partnership is with the R.L. Jones Community Outreach Center in Flint. We kicked off on Thursday, August 21, and returned again on August 28. In just those first two visits, FACT On the Go reached more than 200 families (about 800 individuals) from across Genesee County. Families received children’s foundation garments, cold-weather gear, and much more.

We are deeply thankful to Mother Jones and her team for their dedication and for welcoming FACT to walk alongside them. FACT On the Go will continue at R.L. Jones most Thursdays, with additional neighborhood partnerships planned throughout September.

Much more is on the way, stay tuned for updates as FACT On the Go keeps rolling!
