In response to the many calls, texts, and emails received last week regarding health, education, small business, and employee resources; District 28 Rep. Rebecca Dow worked over the weekend to start compiling a list.
"While I realize this list is not exhaustive, I hope that it is helpful," Dow said. She requested that anyone who has local resources that they would like to share, to send them to her. "I will do my best to create a brief resource webpage to share with others in our community."
