COVID-19 has changed the scope of everything, from the way we shop to how we manage our children's education, and more.  Though the economy is in distress, small businesses are REALLY feeling the pain. Luckily, assistance is available.

For starters, the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama has a small business relief fund, available for those with 2-50 employees who meet other certain qualifications. Get the full list here.

In addition, there are state and federal funds available.  Today, there is a conference call, where federal officials will speak with leaders from our Chamber of Commerce concerning the CARES Act.
