The Haywood Chamber of Commerce, Haywood Economic Development, Haywood Advancement Foundation and Haywood County Government have all teamed together and formed #HaywoodStrong #HaywoodRecovery fund. This fund will be established through private donations and contributions. The #HaywoodStrong #HaywoodRecovery is specifically for those who have been impacted by COVID-19 crisis by providing bridge funding for small businesses.
To start the fund, the Haywood County Government committed $100,000 and Haywood Advancement Foundation $250,000. We anticipate those funds will be depleted in a very short period of time.
We cannot do this alone and need you to join us at #HaywoodStrong #HaywoodRecovery community and make a donation to Haywood Advancement Foundation a 501(c)3 . A little can go a long way in aiding our local Haywood businesses as we face the challenge of recovery. Together we will remain strong, unified and resilient.
