Local Businesses and Community Helpers

Apple Family Assisted Living facilities in Davis and Weber Counties- Every department pooled resources, worked extra hours and days, and volunteered to give up their own comforts in order to keep residents cared for and safe. Everyone from entry-level to management has been helping each other across departments for the sake of devotion to the residents.

Craig and Michelle Labrum– Craig and Michelle, owners of the Roosevelt Arby’s, are providing individuals on the frontline of the Coronavirus pandemic free meals. Every Wednesday, they have been highlighting a different group of workers – healthcare, first-responders, teachers, etc. to feed for free.
