During a time of uncertainty for businesses and non-profit organizations, locals are encouraged to support those groups to ensure they come back stronger than ever after current closures are lifted.

Tulip Time’s cancellation will have a widespread impact, according to Pella Historical Society and Museums Director Valerie Van Kooten, who says the time is now to come together and support local groups.

Cyndi Atkins with the Tulip Time Steering Committee says now is the time to buy gift cards, online shop, or make donations to organizations that host stands during Tulip Time.

The Pella Area Community and Economic Alliance has posted a webpage of resources for local businesses at their website: https://pella.org/coronavirus/
