United Way of the Greater Triangle’s Durham One Fund Now Accepting Donations to Support Durham Residents Displaced During McDougald Terrace Evacuation

Leave a comment


United Way of the Greater Triangle Durham One Fund McDougald Terrace

United Way of the Greater Triangle’s Durham One Fund will begin accepting donations to support Durham’s McDougald Terrace residents impacted by the high carbon monoxide levels and mold conditions.


DURHAM, N.C. (PRWEB)

United Way of the Greater Triangle announced today that the Durham One Fund will begin accepting donations to support the McDougald Terrace residents impacted by the high carbon monoxide levels and mold conditions reported within the housing authority complex last week. The organization is also immediately allocating nearly $53,000 of funds currently available through the Durham One Fund to provide $250 stipends that individuals and families who have been, or plan to be, evacuated can use to purchase food and other personal items.

“These individuals and families already have enough to worry about without the added pressure of surviving a dangerous situation like this one. It’s imperative as a community that we have support structures in place to help our neighbors when they need it most and that’s exactly what the Durham One Fund was designed to do,” said Eric Guckian, President and CEO of United Way of the Greater Triangle. “We are devastated for the people who have lost loved ones, are displaced from their homes, or are suffering from health-related conditions as a result of this situation and we are committed to providing the short-term and long-term support they need to stabilize and rebuild their lives in the days, months, and years following.”

Individuals can donate directly to the Durham One Fund online at https://unitedwaytriangle.org/durham-one-fund/

The Durham One Fund was created by United Way of the Greater Triangle – along with partners including Triangle Community Foundation, Durham County, City of Durham, Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Durham, Discover Durham, Upstream Works Collaborative, and other local nonprofit organizations – in response to April 2019’s gas explosion in Downtown Durham and has already distributed more than $160,000 to support those affected by that disaster. The fund’s goal is to provide short-term and long-term support that will help stabilize and re-build the lives of individuals and families impacted by loss, injury, displacement, disruption, and/or other impacts as a result of unforeseen disasters.

More than 170 families have been displaced from McDougald Terrace to surrounding hotels since Durham Housing Authority began evacuations on January 3. Another 40 families are currently on a waiting list to receive a hotel voucher.

Physical items including gently used clothing, shoes, and jackets as well as unopened toiletries, feminine products, baby formula and food, and non-perishable food items are greatly needed. Donations can be dropped off to the Durham Housing Authority at the T.A. Grady Recreation Center (531 Lakeland St., Durham, NC 27701).

United Way of the Greater Triangle will be working with Ashley Canady, President of McDougald Terrace Public Housing Council to identify and distribute the immediate $250 stipends to displaced residents.

If you are involved with a nonprofit or government entity that has experienced an unbudgeted or unforeseen increase in critical services as a result of the McDougald Terrace evacuation and would like to request Durham One Fund support, please contact Nick Allen, Chief Program Officer at United Way of the Greater Triangle, at nallen@unitedwaytriangle.org.

About United Way of the Greater Triangle:

United Way of the Greater Triangle’s mission is to eradicate poverty and increase social mobility through the power of partnerships, with support provided across four counties: Durham, Johnston, Orange, and Wake, NC. Through three impact focus areas – Cradle to Career, Healthy Families, and Equity in Leadership – United Way supports 84 nonprofit organizations doing the on-the-ground work needed to break the cycle of poverty.

Car Insurance Tips 2020 – How To Purchase Coverage Online

Leave a comment


News Image

“Online car insurance quotes allow customers to make an educated choice and customize offers. In this way, you can choose how much you are willing to pay for coverage”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post explaining how to purchase car insurance online, in a faster and more effective way.

For more info and free car insurance quote online, visit http://compare-autoinsurance.org/5-tips-buying-car-insurance-online/

Insurance companies recommend drivers to use online car insurance quotes, compare prices and after that, purchase coverage online. Making online transactions is time-effective and more convenient for both the buyer and the insurance company. For a faster and easier shopping experience, a person should follow the next tips:


  • Keep the car and the current coverage documents nearby. In order to purchase car insurance, clients must provide first a series of information regarding driving history, car details, and personal info. While some details are easy to fill in, for some info, like the car’s exact model, body type, number of cylinders or VIN number, some documents will be really useful.

  • Visit the state’s Department of Insurance website for a basic view of the local insurance market. Also, each state has different legislation regarding auto insurance. The local Department of Insurance provides the necessary info. Drivers should know more about the minimum state requirement, laws involving totaled or stolen cars, usage of credit score in premium’s determination and so on.

  • Compare car insurance quotes from multiple websites. It is recommended to get as many quotes as possible before buying coverage. To get in touch with multiple insurance companies selling in a particular area, use a brokerage website. The user will get filtered results that match his selections and vehicle, then he can sort them by price.

  • Use correct info when requesting quotes or purchasing coverage. A client’s honesty is crucial for any insurance company. Naturally, they will check if the info provided online matches with the real data. Hiding recent traffic violations is no use since the insurance companies will investigate with authorities. Lying or hiding information is considered fraud and it is punishable by law.

  • Simulate various coverage options. Insurance websites allow customers to fully customize their coverage options. They can select coverage limits, deductibles, apply for various offers (for example apply to Snapshot monitoring programs) and even customize when to pay the premiums and how. Online tools then will calculate the price and will display it. Simulating various coverage options will help drivers design the coverage they want,


Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

“Our patients are asking for a robust ability to find the right provider at a time when it’s convenient for them. We are excited to partner with Odoro, because we think it will allow our patients to easily schedule their care” -Jason Swoboda, TGH

Odoro’s innovative platform enables Tampa to deliver a patient-centric experience.”

TGH selected the Odoro solution for its capabilities to create fully customizable digital scheduling workflows that consider complex business logic and patient-provider preferences. Seamlessly integrated into Tampa’s website, Odoro’s matching algorithm, Schedlogic™, allows patients to easily find their optimal provider instantly 24/7. Accessible through Tampa’s website on any mobile/tablet device, the new real-time solution will also streamline the intake process and improve referrals management to further enhance patient engagement, while also driving operational efficiency.

“With patients now acting like consumers when choosing their providers, delivering a seamless digital front door experience is now even more critical than ever for health care organizations,” said Ohad Ranen, Odoro CEO. “We are therefore delighted to partner with Tampa to deliver a complete experience that makes finding, scheduling and accessing the right provider, easy, convenient and quick – much like shopping on Amazon.”

2020 Lifecycle Prospectus

This prospectus embodies our passion for continued learning, and we loaded it with valuable information.


FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB)

Lifecycle Biotechnologies announces the release of its 2020 prospectus. The Lifecycle prospectus features not just part numbers like what can be found in most catalogs, but rather, insightful information into Lifecycle’s business, it’s manufacturing facilities, the industries it supports, and that is all linked to the impact it has on the global life science industry. The goal? To provide an intelligence system – accurate, real-time data, distributed broadly and quickly, and presented in detail so that the reader can see and react to patterns in deciding for themselves what to do. The prospectus is an informational story not just about how Lifecycle makes an impact with each and every product and how it helps its customer to gain efficiencies, current and new alike, but to showcase the scientific advancements each market is achieving.

“We started this approach with our 2019 catalog, a first for our company, but wanted to amplify the usability and value of it as we enter a new decade,” said Aaron Schieving, Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Lifecycle Biotechnologies. “This prospectus embodies our passion for continued learning, and we loaded it with valuable information. I challenge you to go through it and not learn something new.”

A prospectus is a brochure or other document describing the major features, attractions, or services of a place, institution, or business to prospective patrons, clients, owners, or members. Lifecycle’s prospectus expands on this definition with the many third-party published articles, penned by the Lifecycle team it includes. For those new to Lifecycle, the prospectus welcomes you into its facilities and demonstrates the company’s commitment to truly making a difference. For those long-term partners of the company, the prospectus will allow you to experience the same personalized experience you are accustomed to, as well as allow you to learn about additional ways to expand your relationship and simplify your supply chain while working with the same company you have come to know and trust.

“We are excited to be able to share our prospectus. It is available for download on the homepage of our website (http://www.lifecyclebio.com). Simply scroll down and click the option to download,” said Schieving. “It will be well worth the few second it takes to get your copy. You can also e-mail us at info@lifecyclebio.com to get your copy.”
