The Maine Grain Alliance is aiming to help grain-based business owners navigate the pandemic through a newly launched emergency relief fund.
The alliance this week issued a notice that seeks applications for grants up to $2,000.
The fund will support grain-based business owners with unexpected expenses relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and help with costs related to reopening businesses. The costs may include payroll expenses, supply acquisition (including personal protective equipment), transitions to online sales, curbside or delivery of products, and other unexpected costs.
Grain-based business owners and entrepreneurs demonstrating financial need are welcome to apply.
