The Coffeyville and Montgomery county area has been provided a fantastic opportunity to provide help to local businesses and those in need during the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

The Coffeyville Area Community Foundation has launched the Coffeyville Together Initiative.

 

Executive Director of the Coffeyville Area Community Foundation, Janie Devore Gillis says the goal is to provide assistance to local businesses and those affected by wage and job loss.

 

People are encouraged to support local businesses by going online and selecting businesses to purchase gift cards and certificates for use in the future.

 

The Coffeyville Area Community Foundation will match the amount of each purchase to provide food and basic needs to local residents in the forms of grants to local nonprofit organizations such as Genesis and the local Salvation Army.

 

Gillis says it's important during these trying times to support local businesses because there overall mission is your quality of life.

 

They ask any business that is interested in participating to register online with Coffeyville Together. They have seen great response from local businesses with the last up to date numbers showing nearly 30 businesses already registered. 

 

Gillis also wanted to provide a big thanks to Coffeyville Reawakening and the Chamber of Commerce for being involved in the process.
