CHICO, Calif. - The City of Chico along with Code Enforcement and the Chico Fire Department held its annual Drop and Dash event on Tuesday to help Chico State graduates get rid of any household items they didn’t want to keep anymore.
Gizzi said it is a relief. We still had about 70% of students living here in Chico, said Gizzi.
That means students still went out to contribute to the economy, whether it s picking up food or shopping at stores.
It s good news for the folks at Upper Crust bakery.
The pastry makers know all too well about the economic impacts of the pandemic. We actually limited the amount of hours we re open. We close at 5 o clock now instead of 7, because we don t have the students here, said Jeffrey Plummer, owner of Upper Crust.
Once students return, the bakery hopes to see more business.
