In response to the recent fires and mudslides in Ventura County, Ventura County Credit Union (VCCU), a not-for-profit financial institution, has partnered with local retailers in Ventura as an initiative toward making the community whole again.
Starting in July, the partnership will offer local businesses affected by the natural disasters an opportunity to be featured each month in VCCU’s Ventura branch location. The branch will have a merchandise display with the retailers’ products and signage to promote the business featured that month. VCCU will also be sharing the businesses’ information on social media as well as on the digital screens in the branch.
The retailers include Spice-Topia, a specialty spice and tea store; A Smart Garden, a drought-tolerant plant and organic supplies nursery; The Refill Shoppe, which offers bulk bath, body, home and cleaning products in re-purposed containers; and Very Ventura, a souvenir, apparel and locally made products gift store.
“We are excited to be able to provide our members and community the opportunity to shop and get to know our local retailers,” said Tina Estes, assistant vice president of marketing at VCCU. “We are dedicated to providing resources and assistance that help our community thrive, and this partnership will continue to help our community rebuild.”
