New small business emergency grants
Yesterday the state announced the Working Washington Small Business Grant, through the Governor’s Strategic Reserve Fund and administered by the Washington State Department of Commerce with the help of county economic development organizations. The grants will provide up to $10,000 for small businesses under 10 employees. Businesses can use this money to pay for rent, utility bills, supplies, inventory and other operating expenses.
Home for the Holidays
April is a special month.🌿 It's a new season, and Passover starts tonight. Soon many will celebrate Easter and Ramadan, too. For most families, holidays are for spending with extended family. This year, to #stayhomestayhealthy, we'll have to spend these special days only with those in our households.
Even apart, we can still be together in meaningful ways. Use technology to connect with worship services and extended family. Get creative and make new memories that you can revisit when you're all in the same room again!
National Public Health Week
In the midst of the most challenging public health crisis of our lifetimes, it's more important than ever to celebrate public health.
Thanks to Kitsap Public Health District and Washington State Department of Health for the hard work they do to keep Kitsap's people and environment safe, today and everyday!
