Fred Beans Automotive Group recently launched the Fred Beans 500,000 Meals Challenge. Each month – May through December 2020 – Fred Beans Automotive Group will donate $25,000 to be divided among organizations that fight hunger where we operate.

Locally, the donation dollars will directly benefit the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, which distributed 35 percent more pounds of food in March when the economic impacts of the pandemic began intensifying.

In Mechanicsburg, Fred Beans operates Ford and Kia dealerships, both with automotive services, and a CARSTAR collision center. The monthly donation will come from car sales. They will also donate a portion of customers’ service and CARSTAR collision bills. It is estimated that the funds donated from all Fred Beans sites in PA and NJ will provide 400,000 meals for individuals and families who need assistance.

You can help by:

- Making a donation at our 500,000 Meals Challenge site at https://www.fredbeans.com/half-million-meals-challenge/. - Asking their customers to “round up” at your registers to donate to this hunger relief effort. - Involving your employees in a fundraising event to participate in this good cause to help our neighbors.

Prepared by the U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE GUIDE TO PPP LOAN FORGIVENESS

Under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) created by the CARES Act, loans may be forgiven if borrowers use the proceeds to maintain their payrolls and pay other specified expenses.

The Treasury Department and Small Business Administration recently released the application form and instructions for loan forgiveness. The forgiveness forms, instructions, and worksheets can be downloaded here.

PPP borrowers must apply for loan forgiveness with the lender that processed the loan. This guide is designed to help borrowers understand the process by which their loan forgiveness amount will be calculated and the overall approach of the loan forgiveness process.

Clipper Magazine, Multimedia Solutions Consultant Talking owning a small business during the pandemic with Anne-Marie Brandt By: Jennifer Deinlein, Contributing Writer, Central Penn Business Journal

About Anne-Marie Brandt

Anne-Marie Brandt, 47, is the president and owner of TeamBrandt Marketing, which she founded in March of 2006. In 2014, she served as president of the Mechanicsburg Chamber of Commerce, and remains active in the chamber today. She is also a mentor for Junior Achievement of South Central Pa.

Brandt has an associate’s degree in mass communications from Harrisburg Area Community College and a bachelor’s degree in communications and journalism from Penn State University.

She lives in Dillsburg with her husband, Dan, their boxer-lab mix named Nick Nack and an “evil Maine Coon feline” named Slinky.

What changes have you had to make in your business to help clients keep going during the pandemic?

I’ve converted all my face-to-face meetings to video conferencing meetings. Also, even though I already had a home-based office, I had to reorganize my office so it was more user-friendly for those video calls.

No one wants to see a messy office, plus all my files needed to be reachable so I’m not shuffling around during the call. I’ve had to shift marketing strategies and think outside the box more than normal.

There’s more! See the full interview here. WILDCAT

A message from Brock Kerchner of iHeartMedia Harrisburg:

I am born, raised, and active in the Mechanicsburg community and want to help the Mechanicsburg business community get back on its feet when the “Stay At Home” orders end.

I want to promote shopping at local Mechanicsburg businesses and have created a low cost, high frequency program to do that on News Radio WHP 580, Country Bob 94.9 and WRVV The River 97.3.

We will broadcast :15 commercials on all 3 stations promoting shopping at local Mechanicsburg businesses. In the commercial, we will rotate the names of 3 different businesses to make sure everyone who gets involved gets direct mentions on the air, as well as the general promotion of shopping local Mechanicsburg. We will be using M-Su 5am-10pm inventory on WHP, WRBT, and WRVV stations. iHeart Media will also be running this in open inventory as a FREE bonus to be a true community partner. This will run for 4 weeks after the “Stay At Home” order has been lifted and businesses are open again.

Here is a :15 example using 3 random businesses: Your hometown of Mechanicsburg says…..Welcome back. The shops and places you know and love are open for business like: Civil War and More, Clay’s Service Center, and Diener’s Restaurant. Support your hometown, shop Mechanicsburg! Sponsored by the Mechanicsburg Chamber of Commerce.

Investment: $250 per business that would want directly mentioned

Optional extra direct promotion if you invest: Give us 5 -$25 giftcards for your business. We will give them away on a morning show providing a $2,000 value in free air time.
