In Support of Businesses Impacted by the Floods
In this weekend’s “Close to Home: Notes from a floodplain” in The Press Democrat, Supervisor Lynda Hopkins wrote about the character and resiliency of the Russian River community as clean up and recovery from the recent flooding begin, noting:
“The only thing that rises faster and stronger than the river are her people. Our businesses will reopen. Our households will again fill with the necessities of life. We are better together, stronger together, and we’ll pull together to take care of one another.”
Part of the recovery efforts include the New Vision Foundation’s Small Business Flood Relief Fund, helping small businesses reopen and overseen by the Santa Rosa Metro Chamber, Russian River and Sebastopol Chambers of Commerce, in partnership with the Economic Development Board and Supervisor Lynda Hopkins. If you want to help businesses impacted by the floods, checks to the New Vision Foundation can be dropped off or mailed to the Santa Rosa Metro Chamber at 50 Old Courthouse Square, Suite 110, Santa Rosa, 95404.
