Community & ESG

Five Points turned a team building activity into support for children in our community by doing a team bike build contest in our office then donating the 19 bikes (with helmets) we built to Toys for Tots. We are proud to support our local community and veterans.

Five Points supports our community and various causes throughout the year and in many different ways. Five Points is participating as a sponsor for this year’s Winston-Salem Heart and Stroke Walk on Sunday, October 23. Specifically, Five Points is the sponsor of “Best Friend Friday.” During the “Week of Wellness” leading up to the walk, the American Heart Association will promote how owning a pet can benefit heart health. They will encourage participants to bring their dogs to the walk and on walk day, they will host a “Top Dog” contest for people to have photos taken of their dog (which they will post on social media), and the dog with the most “Likes” wins!

Our team enjoyed partnering with Habitat for Humanity again to work on 4 homes in our community. We refined our rebar, roofing, truss, flooring and fascia skills. The neighborhood that we have served in for the last two years is a new development of 74 planned homes, of which 6 have been completed. We worked on 3 of those homes in 2021 and have enjoyed seeing and being a part of the progress this Habitat neighborhood is making.

Five Points Capital sponsored the “Home Runs for Project Cornerstone” Young Samaritans event for Samaritan Ministries on Friday, May 6^th at the Dash game.

Samaritan Ministries focuses on homelessness within Winston-Salem (https://www.samaritanforsyth.org/about/). Five Points has supported their mission with charitable donations and in-person volunteering in the past, but this event was a way to activate and educate people who may not be as aware of what Samaritan is doing in our community. This event was through their “Young Samaritans” program, which serves to build awareness among a younger set of professionals in the area.

Project Cornerstone is a long-term residential recovery program serving men with a history of substance abuse who are also experiencing homelessness. Project Cornerstone focuses on addressing addiction as one of the core causes of homelessness and helping eliminate barriers to employment and permanent housing. The program has an 80% success rate.

Five Points Capital got back out in the community in 2021 to work on three homes as a team for our annual day of service.

Five Points Capital was proud to support the following organizations in 2020: First Tee, United Way, Crossnore School & Children’s Home, Second Harvest Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, Samaritan Ministries, Junior Achievement, Victory Junction, Crayons Matter and NC Rural Center

Mary Lou, Administrative Manager, has been working diligently making masks during the COVID-19 pandemic. She has made over 300 masks for various recipients, including Project Mask WS, nursing homes, family, friends and her Five Points team members. Five Points also provided financial support to Project Mask WS.

During the 2019 holiday season, the Five Points team purchased and built 14 children’s bicycles and donated them along with children’s bike helmets and sports equipment to our local Toys for Tots, a Marines organization.

In November 2019, the Five Points team partnered with Habitat for Humanity again to spend a day in the community helping to build a house for a disabled veteran. We perfected our flooring, table saw and door installation skills!
