At General Fasteners Company, we join together to support
the communities where we live and work.
Our employees have big hearts!
Through their generosity and willingness to be involved,
GFC has helped hundreds of people in need.
Helping Children
Every child deserves the opportunity to live happy, healthy lives. We supported:
- Blessings in a Backpack: we donated backpacks filled with supplies to an elementary school in Livonia, Michigan
- St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: our employees donated funds to help with the cost of medical care for St. Jude’s kids.
- Red Nose Day: It was fun to raise money toward keeping children safe, healthy and educated through the annual Red Nose Day!
Providing Holiday Gifts
During the holidays, we select organizations that support families in need. Our gift donations help to make the holidays brighter for children and their parents. Recent donations went to:
- DMC Children’s Hospital of Michigan
- Children’s Leukemia Foundation of Michigan
- Families stationed at the Selfridge Air Base in Harrison Township, Michigan
Food Banks / Disaster Relief
Our employees often donate their time and food to help out charities:
- Gleaners Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan
- Lighthouse of Oakland County
When Hurricane Harvey hit the Houston, Texas region, our employees came together and filled many large buckets with much-needed cleaning supplies. The buckets were given to:
- DRAW (Disaster Relief at Work) who delivered them directly to those in need
Breast Cancer Fundraising
An estimated 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. It affects us personally or through someone that is close to us. GFC’s annual fundraising efforts support those women by donating toward breast cancer research through:
- Susan G. Komen for the Cure
- Breast Cancer Research Foundation
- National Breast Cancer Foundation
