Shelter clients continue serving you during social distancing

While you’re sheltering at home and maintaining proper social distance, you can still patronize many of the clients we’ve been fortunate to work with. See how these organizations are providing products and services in innovative ways during challenging times.

NOTE: The listings here reflect information we had in early April. We’ve tried to be as accurate and complete as possible. But we understand that many businesses are adjusting operations as circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic change. Visit the organizations’ own websites and social media pages for more details and up-to-date information.
