About Restoration and Recovery Resources

The recent business devastation in Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the continued struggles related to COVID-19, have pushed many Minnesota businesses to the brink. Thankfully, the Minnesota business community is one that helps those in need.
 
In response to the damage and loss of businesses in Minneapolis and St. Paul and COVID-19, the Chamber is working to create a network of expertise, services and volunteer time to help businesses who need it most. The Chamber created a database of member companies willing to donate their products and services, free of charge, to help struggling businesses get back on their feet.
