During our company’s 40th anniversary, we celebrated by donating a forklift to Green Bay First. The local church operates a food pantry that distributes hundreds of bags of food weekly and provides transportation for children and families to access meals. We recognize the organization’s commitment to making a difference and wanted to support their efforts with dependable equipment in Green Bay. They said:
“…We are truly blessed to be working alongside you, and your help is an invaluable part of something much bigger—our mission to positively change the city of Green Bay. Words can’t express how much your partnership means to us.”
