The “We Are Community” project was created to help bring awareness to the community and demonstrate the impacts of COVID-19 on small businesses which have been hit hard due to the shutdown. Small businesses are adapting their business models as they prepare to overcome the challenging weeks and months ahead. This project is a labor of love by photographer and local environmental advocate, Court Leve. Through visual storytelling, the goal is to support local businesses and the Truckee community at a time when we need it the most. www.theiruntoldstory.com for more.

We Are Community – Support Truckee Together

June 2, 2020

Hear the shared message of several small businesses in Truckee of coming together as a community, “shopping small” and dining locally. Now more than ever we need to support each other, our businesses, our neighbors. We are only at the start of this long journey. Let’s come together, work together.
