While we are lucky enough to live in an area that is not impacted by hurricanes, many people in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia are still dealing with the devastating impact of Hurricane Matthew. Although they are lucky to have survived, many individuals and business owners have suffered damaged vehicles or a total loss because of the storm. Nissan is helping victims get their lives back to normal by offering employee-pricing on most Nissan vehicles. Victims in the affected areas can work with their local Nissan dealership now through the end of the month to take advantage of this opportunity, which includes additional incentives and even a deferred payment plan* for qualified customers. We are proud to work for such a generous and caring company! "Nissan North America Offers Employee Pricing to Replace Vehicles Damaged by Hurricane Matthew." Nissan Online Newsroom. N.p., n.d. Web. 19 Oct. 2016. < http://nissannews.com/en-US/nissan/usa/releases/nissan-north-america-offers-employee-pricing-to-replace-vehicles-damaged-by-hurricane-matthew >. *NMAC deferred payment plan does not apply to leases; interest accrues on any deferred payments; offer applies to 60-month new contracts, except for Altima and Rogue, for which 72 month terms are applicable.

"Nissan sponsors many educational programs to help children and youth learn and grow," said Rebecca Vest, Nissan vice president of Corporate Development and Social Responsibility. "There is no better way to nurture opportunity in the communities where we live and work than to promote literacy and a desire to learn among children from an early age. We are proud to partner with Governor's Books from Birth Foundation and Tennessee's Imagination Library." The Governor's Books from Birth Foundation (GBBF) was on the receiving end of a monetary gift totaling $100,000 from Nissan yesterday. Since 2005, Nissan has donated $1.1 million to GBBF in an effort to encourage early childhood literacy in Middle Tennessee. The foundation specializes in providing age-appropriate books each month to preschool children who are enrolled in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library programs in four Tennessee counties where Nissan has a presence. GBBF has distributed more than 26.8 million books across the state of Tennessee. "We know that early learning and reading skills are absolutely critical for a child's success in life," said Theresa Carl, president of GBBF. "Thanks to Nissan's generosity and commitment, more than 4 million books have been delivered in Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford and Franklin counties since 2004. Our continued partnership with Nissan through the years has made a significant impact on enrollment growth and on the lives of the thousands of children served by this program."

Giving back to the community is something that Nissan takes very seriously. Now in its second decade of partnering with Habitat for Humanity, Nissan is proud to say that they have donated more than $14 million and countless volunteer hours. "We thank Nissan for continuing to give back to communities across the country," said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. "We are grateful for their long-term support and commitment to help families build strength, stability and self-reliance." Last week, Nissan donated another $1 million to the cause to help expand Habitat for Humanity’s vehicle fleet and to help build new homes in the areas where Nissan has an operational presence, including Tennessee, California, Michigan, and Mississippi. "Nissan values its partnership with Habitat for Humanity because it delivers strong results each year in building sustainable communities in the areas where our employees live and work," said Nissan vice president Rebecca Vest. "Our employees look forward to working alongside future homeowners, and their experiences affirm our corporate mission to enrich people's lives.” "Nissan Enters Second Decade of Partnership with Habitat for Humanity with $1 Million Donation of Grants and Vehicles."
