Capital Ford Rocky Mount Tornado Relief Program

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capital Ford Rocky Mount announced today that the dealership has created a Tornado Relief Program to assist the community in rebuilding after a tornado touched down on Wednesday.

The EF-3 tornado touched down near Rocky Mount on Wednesday around 12:30 pm bringing with it winds of up to 150 mph and creating widespread destruction. Pfizer, who is a main employer in the town, experienced a great deal of damage when its roof was torn off and the majority of the building was destroyed.

In effort to help the community through the grueling process of rebuilding, Capital Ford of Rocky Mount has created the following relief program for those that may have had a vehicle damaged during the storm:

* An extra $1,000 off any new or used vehicle

* No payments for 90 days on any new Ford

* Carolina Collision Center will waive the insurance deductible for repairs for employees of the Pfizer plant and will also help expedite body repairs for any resident of the area

Although this will be a challenging time for the small community, Capital Ford Rocky Mount is hoping this program will help those who need it most. In order to take advantage of this program, all most people will need to have will be the authorized insurance claim form indicating the damage and those that work for Pfizer will also need proof of employment. This program is running from now until August 31.

Community Action Study Examines Impact of COVID-19 on Low-Income Families and Communities in North Carolina

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Financial hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic are hitting low-income families in North Carolina especially hard, according to a new report released today by the North Carolina Community Action Association (NCCAA).

The study, which explored the impact of COVID-19 on low-income families and communities in North Carolina, was commissioned by NCCAA to gauge how the pandemic was affecting its efforts to combat poverty and facilitate self-sufficiency in low-income communities.

The full report is presented in two parts. Part I, "Lived Experiences of the COVID-19 Pandemic," presents the findings from focus groups with low-income families throughout the state. Part II, "Ruminations from the Frontlines of the COVID-19 Pandemic," presents the findings from key informant interviews with local leaders in low-income communities served by Community Action Agencies throughout the state.

"The voices of the people behind the numbers are equally important but heard less often, especially the voices of low-income people who have had their trials multiplied by the pandemic," said lead researcher Dr. James Johnson, Jr., director, Urban Investment Strategies. Dr. Johnson conducted the study in conjunction with researchers from the Kenan Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the Cedar Grove Institute for Sustainable Communities.

The study concluded that COVID-19 exacted a disproportionately heavy toll on low-income families, especially in terms of both exposure to and deaths from the coronavirus.

"This finding was not surprising, particularly as we know that low-wealth individuals who hurt the most are hardest hit by any catastrophe," said Sharon C. Goodson, executive director, NCCAA. The study also found vaccine hesitancy to be widespread among North Carolina's low-income families and households.

In addition to disparate exposures and deaths among the state's low-income population, the study found that the COVID-19 pandemic created major employment challenges and forced low-income households to make difficult decisions and choices regarding work versus personal safety and the health and wellbeing of their families. The shift to remote learning during the pandemic shed new light on deficiencies in the availability, access, quality, and cost of internet services for low-income families.

Focus group participants noted heightened personal and familial stress and anxiety posing, in the process, major socioemotional and mental health challenges for low-income individuals and families throughout the state.

Government safety-net programs were an important lifeline for these families but fell short of addressing the actual range of assistance low-income households needed. However, nonprofit organizations increased their efforts to provide additional financial and socio-emotional support, and basic-necessities such as food and personal protective equipment. Conversely, local governments and nonprofits have been forced to better collaborate to provide support, goods, and services to the needy in their communities.

Capital Powersports Earns Council of Excellence Award 2020

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capital Powersports, a Honda dealership in Wake Forest has earned the Council of Excellence award in 2020. Capital Powersports has won this award for the 6th year in a row.

"It's all about how we really team up with Honda in our finance services," said Matt Duffy, Finance Manager. "Everybody wants a cool, reliable Honda Motorcycle, Side by Side, or ATV. But can they get it? Well, that's where our financial team always helps go to that next level, and we're being recognized for that."

The Council of Excellence is awarded to the top 15% of Honda Dealerships in the nation.

"Our success comes from our customers. We are so thankful for our loyal customers and strong connections with the community. Honda makes the vehicles, Capital Powersports makes the difference! When you buy a vehicle from us, you become part of the Capital family. This award means a lot to our team as it recognizes the continued work we put in to be the best of the best," said Kevin R Dunn, General Manager of Capital Powersports.

"This is the first time in my long time in the powersports industry, that the manufacturers are completely cleaned out of inventory. Never before has that happened. Most inventory has been pre-sold before it hits the floor, so logistical issues caused by Covid and making sure our team stayed healthy, which overall they did, was critical as we rallied through and set sales records along the way," said Dunn.

Despite these challenges, they continued to provide an excellent customer experience which their hundreds of 5-Star google reviews attest too.

Capital Powersports, a Honda Yamaha franchised dealer, proudly serves customers in Wake/Durham and surrounding counties. If you are looking to purchase a vehicle, you can head to their showroom or give them a call at (919) 719-0700. Or you can visit their website at: https://www.capitalpowersports.com/

NCCAA Launches ‘Sleeves Up North Carolina’ COVID Vaccine Campaign

RALEIGH, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- The North Carolina Community Action Association (NCCAA) has launched "Sleeves Up North Carolina" - a statewide public education campaign aimed at dispelling common myths and providing factual information about the COVID-19 vaccines.

"Black and brown populations in North Carolina are hesitant to take a vaccine to help mediate the coronavirus pandemic," said NCCAA Executive Director Sharon C. Goodson. "Much of this hesitancy comes from misinformation about the development of the vaccines, as well as the historical perspectives of how black and brown people have been treated with regards to healthcare.

"The Sleeves Up North Carolina campaign is designed to support our local communities with the resources needed to engage people and reinforce trusted information sources so that we can increase the rate of vaccines administered across the state," she said.

The campaign is centered around a series of 30-second public service announcements that each debunk a common myth. The ads feature an animated character making an inaccurate declaration regarding the vaccines. Former NBA basketball player Chris Wilcox then addresses the erroneous statement with factual vaccine information.

The PSAs include a toll number for qualifying North Carolinians to schedule free roundtrip rides to COVID-19 vaccine appointments through the United Way of the Greater Triangle's Ride United NC program: https://www.unitedwaytriangle.org/rideunitednc/.

"COVID-19 has really devastated the world, and also created even more downstream impacts for underserved communities," said Wilcox, CEO, Wilcox Distribution. "I have cried with so many family members, friends, and neighbors in my hometown Whiteville, North Carolina over loved ones lost, and business shutdowns during this pandemic.

"But the time has come for us to reclaim living, going to church and getting our children back into classrooms. Vaccines are available and they will help us do that. The data shows they save lives, so I'm standing with United Way and partnering with NCCAA by encouraging everyone to get vaccinated today," he said.

The PSAs, developed by Kernel, a digital creative agency, take a light-hearted, yet impactful and memorable approach to address four vaccine fallacies:
* The vaccine sickens recipients with the COVID-19 virus
* People who have been infected do not need to be vaccinated
* The vaccines were developed too quickly to be effective
* Once vaccinated, a mask is no longer required

To complement the PSAs, the Sleeves Up North Carolina campaign will include engaging social media content and a resource hub on the NCCAA website with informational posters, blog posts and local success stories, among other resources.

"We want to ensure that we are providing North Carolinians who are hesitant, reluctant, distrusting, or otherwise unmotivated with respect to the COVID-19 vaccines with the resources, information, and support they need to make the vaccination decision that is right for them," said Goodson.
