This season, it’s time to give back to the businesses that sustain families and communities throughout the year. The Enterprise Center’s Boost Black & Brown Businesses campaign aims to raise $25,000 in support of Black and brown businesses that have lost crucial holiday sales to COVID-19. The end of the pandemic is in sight, but our small businesses need a boost to make it through the winter and on to recovery.
