#JtownCares #JtownSpirit #JtownSupport

More hearts with #JtownCares #JtownSpirit and #JtownSupport have been popping up around Jefferson. This show of support has been appreciated by the many small businesses and the residents as a sign of hope for the community during this time. Chalking the walk of the downtown is also encouraged so as the weather permits taking a walk, residents can see all of the positive messages while seeing the hearts. Design Team volunteers have also offered to make easy to read signage for businesses. Thanks to all involved!
