Haddad's European car group, Eurotic of Detroit, played a crucial role in supporting the Birmingham coffee shop DayCap Café during the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdowns.
Eurotic of Detroit, known for its passion for European cars, extended its mission beyond automotive interests by rallying support to keep DayCap Café from foreclosure. Their active involvement highlights the power of community groups in aiding local businesses during tough times.
"Our goal was always to bring people together, whether it's about cars or supporting our neighborhood spots," said Haddad.
When the pandemic threatened the closure of many small businesses, DayCap Café faced foreclosure due to financial strains. The car club’s efforts helped maintain the café as a community hub, preserving both the local economy and a social space for residents.
This example shows how passionate community groups can serve critical roles beyond their primary interests by preserving local businesses and fostering neighborhood solidarity.
