Strong Industries –
Strong Lady Mechanics (For-Profit Business)
Starting For-Profit First (Required Step Before Nonprofit Launch)
Strong Lady Mechanics opens March 2026 as a women-run, for-profit auto repair shop.
It is beginning as a for-profit business only because Somer must build the garage first before she can legally launch the nonprofit programs.
Somer is not paying herself at the beginning. Operating for-profit is simply the first required step so she can:
-
build the shop,
-
qualify for grants,
-
establish the nonprofit structure, and
-
launch training and recovery programs for women.
Once the nonprofit is fully approved, Strong Lady Mechanics will operate alongside Strong Industries to provide training, hands-on experience, and new opportunities for women entering the trades.
Future Programs Planned Under Strong Industries
These programs are in development and may be finalized once the nonprofit filing is complete:
God’s Hood (Faith-Based Sober Living Home)
A vision for a faith-based sober living home for women and children.
Community Support & Charity
As Strong Industries grows, Somer plans to build opportunities for support, training, and resources for women and families.
Get Involved (Coming Soon)
Donation and volunteer opportunities will be added once the nonprofit registration is complete.
