OUR TEAM STEPS UP TO HELP OTHERS IN NEED
As anyone who has worked with us knows, NordstrandBlack is passionate about fighting for individuals who’ve been wronged through no fault of their own. It comes as no surprise, then, that an attorney who works with our firm is showing the same dedication in coming to the aid of those most impacted by COVID-19. Michele Cuttler has long been committed to serving our community beyond her capacity as a lawyer. Over the decades, she has worked with vital charities like CALM (ChildAbuse Listening Mediation), Storyteller Children’s Center, and the Santa Barbara Resiliency Project. Now, she’s championing another cause with her involvement in the 93108Fund, which is distributing cash grants to hourly wage earners who work in Montecito. Montecito resident Ron Blitzer started the 93108Fund after the January 2018 debris flow when Montecito was evacuated and hourly wage
earners were unable to work. At that time, 950 workers received cash grants. When the COVID-19 crisis closed down restaurants, shops, and offices, Ron restarted the fund to help workers who have been laid off, furloughed, or had their hours cut substantially. The aim of the 93108Fund is to get cash into the hands of laid-off workers in our community as quickly and efficiently as possible. The 93108Fund is also sponsoring the Montecito Cash Mob to come to the aid of local businesses by making gift certificates available from local restaurants and stores. You can find more information on how to participate at 93108Fund.org. You can also make a donation there to the 93108Fund to help hourly workers who have been laid off. NordstrandBlack is proud of the work Michele is doing as she steps up and goes above and beyond to help our community in this challenging time, and we are proud to support this fund.
