“After losing our entire event income due to COVID-19, this grant allowed us to continue. It gave us the ability to upgrade our Instagram with professional puzzle design, purchase additional shirts for the winter, and invest in marketing assistance going into the holiday season. We are forever grateful and thankful to be able to keep rebuilding our block."
