FLINT, MI – A Flint-based non-profit that helps residents enter the workforce opened a new facility this week, expanding its footprint on the city’s north side.

A ribbon cutting and grand opening were held on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the 8,300-square-foot facility, located at 3070 W. Pierson Road.

“We choose to be in the north end of Flint,” St. Luke N.E.W. Life co-founder and executive director Sister Carol Weber said during the event. “We choose to be here amongst the people that we know need us and deserve us.”

The organization purchased the previously vacant building for $400,000 in summer 2024, St. Luke N.E.W. Life Center Director of Operations Bob Nelson said.

The building was originally occupied by a tire shop and, more recently, it also served as the home of a wig store.
