Flood Relief Fund to Assist Vermont Businesses

The Vermont Main Street Flood Relief Fund is raising money with the aim of extending financial assistance to those severely impacted by recent flooding in the state.

“Vermont’s small businesses have a substantial need given the severe nature of the flooding,” according to the Vermont Specialty Food Association. “There’s a significant amount of work that will be required to be completed for most to be able to reopen. The difficulty people face is exacerbated by the fact that many are still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The board overseeing the Vermont Main Street Flood Relief Fund ensures that 100 percent of the tax-deductible funds raised will be directly allocated to those most in need. Donations to this Fund can be made at vtrecovery2023.com.
