Local 4x4 Club Helps Out during Icy Weekend Weather
A local off-road enthusiasts’ club, Central North Carolina 4x4, assisted with transporting medical, church employees and shelter employees to and from their respective hospitals, churches and shelters over ice-ridden roads this past weekend.
The club set up a dispatch phone number at member Ken Carter's home for facilities to call and request rides. Ken then relayed the requests to CNC 4x4 members living nearest to the person needing a ride.
Facilities assisted included the Tammy Lynn Center for Developmental Disabilities, Urban Ministries, Cary Health and Rehab Center, and local hospitals.
Calls began coming in at 11:30 am on Friday and continued until 10 am on Saturday.
“We are happy to volunteer and help out the community during a time like this,” said Carter, a former president of the club. “It's a great way for us to provide a unique service and step up to help people that really need to get to work in bad weather.”
Central North Carolina 4x4 Club is a nonprofit organization founded to provide social, educational, and recreational activities for its membership by participating in and supporting civic and environmental activities for the betterment of the community.
