MEDFORD, Ore. —$250,000 in funding assistance is being made available to Medford small businesses on Friday.
“You know with these grants, it keeps my dream alive, it keeps me thinking that eventually I will be successful,” Natasha Hopkins, The Rogue Grape.
Hopkins, is one of the many small businesses hit hard from the pandemic.
The funding doesn’t come a moment too soon, Hopkins says that with a staff of only 5 & bills piling up, they decided to close their doors.
“Right now I’m just trying to stay a live, so the grant money for me, means that I can pay my bills to keep my space and to keep everything that I’ve built,” says Hopkins.
