This week we are closing out October with good news: the numbers are in and our Travis Credit Union Foundation campaign to protect lives and livelihoods has raised $3,880! Additionally, we are extremely excited to share the winning design from our mask logo contest. Congrats to Richmond resident Raul Garcia!
Huge thanks to all our manufacturing partners–LeChat Nail Care Products, Leftside Printing, Fab Lab Richmond, and 5 Star Cleaners–and to everyone who donated and supported our campaign. We could not have done this without you.
This week and next we will begin turning those dollars into face masks, hand sanitizer, and face shields for our Downtown businesses and residents. Stay tuned for updates!
