In the fifth episode, Kyle, Anna and Tabitha continue to spotlight good news in the area: RPI Group is named “Best Workplace” for 2020, Creative2 announces they will match donations on a GoFundMe page they started for the Thurman Brisben Center, a homeless shelter struggling during COVID-19; and Virginia Partners Bank and Atlantic Union join to provide $1.75 billion in P.P.P. loans to small businesses. 

As the business spotlight of this week, Jessica Jones joins the team to chat about her growing homemade toffee business, Cocoa Muerto. A former military wife who finds joy in the kitchen, Jessica’s passion for making homemade toffee began with making it for relatives during the holidays. She shares her story, her future plans, and how the pandemic is affecting her business. Partnered with the REC, the Chamber made a donation to Jessica to help support her growing business during COVID-19. As always, the Chamber team offers valuable tips for spreading positivity during this pandemic. 

"Good News Fredericksburg" episodes will be available on Apple and Spotify weekly on Wednesday and Friday. Episodes are also recorded LIVE, Tuesday and Thursday on the Chamber’s Facebook page.
