Thelen Community Outreach
Thelen Auto Group goes beyond its automotive expertise by actively engaging in community outreach initiatives, guided by the core philosophies established by the founder Tom Thelen of “Giving is Living” and “Doing the Right Thing.” These core values emphasize our unwavering commitment to the local community, highlighting its community involvement, volunteerism, and partnerships with various local events and non-profits organizations. Through initiatives such as food, blood, & school supply drives and event partnerships, Thelen Auto Group embodies the belief that giving back is not only the right thing to do, but it also enriches lives and strengthens our local community.
We at Thelen Auto Group believe that true fulfillment comes from active community involvement. Through our community outreach, we foster a culture of engagement and social responsibility among our employees and owners. By actively participating in community events, programs, and initiatives, we ensure that our impact goes beyond the confines of our business operations, actively contributing to the well-being and growth of the local community.
Volunteering lies at the core of the Thelen Auto Group’s community outreach efforts. We encourage our employees to dedicate their time, skills, and energy to making a positive impact in the Mid-Michigan community. Through our volunteering at local events, non-profit organizations, and community initiatives, our employees create a ripple effect of goodwill and inspire others to get involved. Through their volunteer efforts, our employees embody the philosophy that giving back to the community is a fundamental part of living a fulfilling life. We actively seek partnerships with local events and non-profit organizations, understanding the importance of collaboration and collective impact. By supporting local events, such as fundraisers, festivals, and community gatherings, we contribute to the vibrancy and cultural enrichment of our community.
