COVID community support page
Rockopelli Inc.'s mission has always been to support local communities in Northwest Indiana and Chicago. As the COVID-19 pandemic impacts more aspects of day-to-day life in our communities, we are all faced with challenges as well as opportunities to lift each other up.
Here is a list of local businesses that are currently operating while adhering to safe social distancing guidelines, along with a list of fundraisers for neighbors who are out of work now due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Please support these businesses and friends by purchasing from their locations and/or making donations to their causes.
If you have a local business, cause or public safety information site you would like to be added to the Pelli COVID Community Board, please email us at rockopellifest@gmail.com
