Our crew participated in a back-to-school supply drive for Rock Lake Elementary, where 92% of the student body is challenged for resources. Thanks to our crew's incredible generosity, we collected and donated 41 notebooks, 786 colored pencils, 84 pencil cases, 1,392 pencils, and much more.

In honor of our partner John Lutz's memory at CDPHP, we donated 100 Memorial trees to Arbor Day Foundation, a global nonprofit that plants trees in forests with the greatest need. With its data-driven approach to reforestation, Arbor Day Foundation uses its Forest Priority Index formula to calculate many factors, including how the region's reforestation will impact climate change, wildlife, and indigenous lands. Our donation of 100 trees will provide oxygen for 400 people annually.

Our crew volunteered at The WASH Foundation, an evolution of Clean the World Foundation. Clean the World was founded to address global health issues. Aiming to reduce the number of hygiene products that end up in our oceans and landfills from our hospitality industry and solve hygiene-related deaths, this non-profit recycles discarded hotel hygiene products. It gives them a new life, creating new bars of soap that are shipped to communities in need worldwide. Since their inception, they have recycled and distributed 86 million bars of soap in 127 countries and have helped reduce the hygiene-related death rate by 70%. During the crew's time volunteering, they helped box 25,200 bars of soap that will be donated to those in need.

Garage crew member Nadia Robeson visited Fundacion Casa Niños Felices, an orphanage based in the Dominican Republic. On behalf of The Garage and its crew, Nadia presented a generous donation. Crew members contributed to the cause, and The Garage matched donation efforts to amplify its impact. Aside from the donation, the group of travelers accompanying Nadia presented the orphanage with a suitcase of school supplies and small toys for the small children to enjoy.

Our team cooked, packaged, and served over 75 meals to families staying long term in the Ronald McDonald House of Charity facilities for their Share-a-Meal program. One of the quotes from a note written by a recipient reads, "Day 78 in hospital & day 18 of radiation, but a delicious hot meal always makes it easier to bear. Thank you & God bless you."

During Fuse 2023, our partner Honest Medical Group joined Us in tending to Bethlehem Centers of Nashville's summer campus garden. By helping to maintain the flower beds, we tackled Food Access and Insecurity, as Bethlehem Center is located in a "food desert" in the city. This garden provided teaching garden programs for their community's children and families.

Multiple locations, one mission: to make a difference. The US Garage crew was joined by The Garage India in our first #AllIn philanthropic initiative. Together, The Garage US and Garage India provided food to 10,500+ underserved individuals. The Garage US partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank and packaged meals that were distributed to Central Florida food pantries, soup kitchens, women's shelters, senior centers, day care centers, and kids' cafes.
