GKN Driveline 2015 Community Engagement Project

Safe Harbor Rescue Mission

How it all Happened• Tina Lineberger came across Safe

Harbor’s website, so I started looking into them.

• Tina and I went to interview a few places, and we both agreed S.H. was the one.

• I started working out the budget with Chasta until Alan Tonks came to my desk one day.

• He said that Wilkie Construction Company in Lenoir was interested in donating the paint supplies for the project!

• This generous act enabled GKN to afford the entire cost of a new awning for the administrative office.

One by one, I watched as more people volunteered to paint the warehouse at Safe

Harbor. This is what happened:
