A Florida Christmas tree business is seeing success after receiving a grant from Facebook.
WINTER PARK, Fla. - A Christmas tree delivery business from Central Florida is getting a little help from Facebook to survive the COVID-19 pandemic.
Treedrop, LLC, based out of Winter Park, received a $2,500 grant to help with business expenses and $1,500 in advertisement credits from the social media giant. They received the money as part of Facebook’s commitment to award $40 million in grants to small, black-owned businesses in the U.S.
Treedrop Co-Founder Courtney Jasmin said they are grateful to receive the grant and used part of it to create a new video advertisement to raise awareness about their company.
