Chamber of Commerce Go-Fund-Me Drive
We do have a story up!
I first referenced the Chamber's fundraiser in one of our early stories on the riot damage with a link at the top of the article for folks to donate. I hope it helped!
I've now posted a second story on the fundraiser's success, raising over $168,000 as of today.
I'm so glad to see this help for these merchants, after all the struggles they have been through.
