Love Hendo: Supporting Our Community in Times of Crisis
At the heart of our community lies resilience, and Love Hendo is a testament to that spirit. When challenges arise, we come together to help one another. Through our crisis response fund, All in for Hendo, we provide immediate support to our local businesses when they need it most.
What is All in for Hendo?
All in for Hendo is the Chamber’s rapid-response fund, created to assist businesses facing unexpected hardships. Whether it’s storm damage, illness, or unforeseen challenges, this fund ensures our members can continue operating and receiving the resources they need from the Chamber.
Initially established during COVID-19, this fund now plays a pivotal role in supporting businesses impacted by Hurricane Helene. In addition to helping businesses with immediate needs, it also funds key programs, such as our Business and Banking Apprenticeships, Mission Acceleration, scholarships, and more.
