Non-Profit "Local First Arizona" provides necessary financial support to rural small businesses in need
Description (Dublin Core)
Sarandon Raboin/Luce Foundation: Southwest Stories Fellowship
The COVID-19 Pandemic has hit rural small businesses especially hard. Owners are struggling to pay their bills, and even survive. These owners don't necessarily get the same financial support from the federal government as owners in metropolitan areas. The non-profit "Local First Arizona" started providing financial grants to small businesses, especially focusing on those in rural areas of Arizona. These grants have been the saving grace of some rural small business owners. Reporter Sarandon Raboin spoke with some of the owners who were helped by "Local First Arizona".
