[VIDEO] Corvette Assembly Plant Employees Adopt 175 Angels

We’ve known the Corvette Assembly Plant has a bunch of angels for a long time.

After all, they share the gift of Corvettes with thousands of us enthusiasts each year.

But now the Bowling Green workers are taking it a step further as they’re again taking part in the Salvation Army Angels program this holiday season.

The program works by asking community members to adopt area needy children to donate toys and clothes to make their Christmas season brighter.

This year, the Corvette plant has adopted 175 Angels, an increase of 10 percent because of the growth in employees there.

Workers also have donated $2,000 to the Salvation Army’s food bank for use after Christmas when the food pantry is usually depleted.

Corvette Plant Manager Jim Lamarche says he is glad to see the strong support from his employees, though he’s not surprised.

“I am very proud of our team,” he said. “I am very proud of our UAW Local 2164 members. I’m proud of our staff, not only for what they do here by getting involved with the Angel Tree program, but for what they do throughout the year. This isn’t just a one-time event for us. Our employees are involved in community organizations all year long.”
