The Payne Arcade Business Association, through its Payne Area ReBOOT initiative, launches NEIGHBORS SUPPORTING NEIGHBORS

A fundraising campaign in support of laid-off staff in the Payne Arcade business community



    ST. PAUL, MN, June 05, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Payne Area ReBOOT initiative is aimed at creating a more vital, equitable, and prosperous future for the business, arts, and entertainment district in the Payne Area and for the diverse community of all the people who live, work, and shop in the neighborhood. The challenges that stem from the COVID-19 pandemic make this mission even more important and time-critical. The district cannot afford to see the momentum slip away that it has been able to build.

The funds raised through the Neighbors Supporting Neighbors campaign will be used to benefit employees of local Payne-Arcade businesses who have lost their jobs, been laid-off, or are working reduced hours due to the COVID-19 shutdowns and restrictions. The goal is to raise $5,000.

We are extending a personal invitation to you and your network of readers and followers to actively participate in the Neighbors Supporting Neighbors campaign, by:
- Donating via GoFundMe May 23 through June 14 (https://www.gofundme.com/f/covid19-assistance-for-laid-off-workers?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&fbclid=lwAR1HsDdryQOip7Q8EI3UbOP-iBisemnhC7BdG0EPhpgLv8aqX2gyPsCissk)
