Deb here: My own t-shirt design business that started in 2003, would not have existed with out the talent and hard work of my printer, who has been based in Red Hook for many many years. Having just made the move to the downstairs of his building just 4 months ago- sadly his entire warehouse, along with the other businesses in the building was 4 feet+ high in water. Subsequently all of his equipment and thus livelihood and the work of the people he employs and has been severely set back. Hopefully Fema/SBA will fill some gaps, however a fund Restore Redhook, has been started by members of the community, working to help the community, with out a loan.
If you are looking for a place to donate funds that will go directly to assist small businesses, and a community, we recommend checking them out.
