…toward the Fire Recovery Grant pool!  Please join him and you’ll double your donation to help our small businesses recover from the devastating fire of April 7th.

Click here to double your donation today:  https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=599XPY3JTLNW6 

The fire wiped out numerous businesses in our small town, left families without a way to put food on the table, and scarred the heart of our downtown. Could you please help get them back on their feet? 

With your generous donation as well as that of dozens of other individual donors, we’ll be able to help lift up our little island businesses into a stronger place.  100% of Fire Recovery Grant donations will go directly into the hands of our business owners, enabling them to get back in business faster. 

More information on all Fire Recovery programs:  https://sanjuansedc.org/fire-recovery/ 

I am absolutely blown away by islanders’ generosity, as we rebuild our beloved businesses and our downtown.

Please join us with your donation, and it will be DOUBLED!
