Clean Start Back to Work Program

PUROCLEAN/ESSEX CLEAN START - BACK TO WORK PROGRAM 10% DISCOUNT FOR NECC MEMBERS
 

Commercial Deep Cleaning for Peace of Mind

Why Should You Consider Deep-Cleaning Services when You Reopen for Business? PuroClean’s RapidDefense™ deep-cleaning program uses the CDC guidelines for cleaning and the application of an EPA-registered, Hospital-grade disinfectant to help minimize the risk of pathogens spreading. Keeping your business location clean can play a crucial role in reducing the spread of germs and other harmful microorganisms after reopening your business to the public. Potentially infectious biological materials such as COVID-19 or any other virus can pose a threat to human health. Professional deep-cleaning is the answer to help you maintain a safer environment for your customers and employees. Find out more - Clean Start Program for businesses,

TOAST: SAVE LOCAL RESTAURANTS – TAKE PART IN RALLY FOR RESTAURANTS

We all have our favorite eateries around our area, a special restaurant, café, bakery or bar in our local neighborhood. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, restaurants are suffering a dramatic decline in sales which could mean running short of cash to support day-to-day operations and staff wages. Restaurants operate on thin margins, which make it particularly challenging to recover from this situation.

Rally for Restaurants is a grassroots movement built out of a need to support the restaurant industry through this incredibly uncertain time. Rally for Restaurants was started by Toast, provider of point of sale, front of house, back of house, and guest-facing technology for the restaurant industry.

To join the movement, simply buy a gift card to your favorite restaurant. By doing so, you'll support a small business in desperate need of short-term financial support.

CHILDCARE SERVICES FROM YMCA MONTCLAIR

The YMCA of Montclair is offering full-day licensed emergency childcare to families of health care workers, first responders, and other essential personnel who need care for their children during the coronavirus pandemic. The Y has temporarily opened its Geyer Family YMCA facility to provide care under the supervision of experienced, nurturing childcare staff. Families do not need to be YMCA members to utilize this program. Families can register for days as needed.

Locations, ages, and operating hours:
• Geyer Family YMCA 159 Glenridge Ave., Montclair
• Ages 3 months-13 years old (if your child has special needs, Y staff must review on a case-by-case basis to determine eligibility for care)
• 6:30am – 7:30pm Monday through Friday

The State of New Jersey is currently covering the cost of childcare for essential workers, regardless of income. For more information, visit the state’s emergency childcare website.

To register as an essential employee who needs childcare, visit the registration page and select your county.

Applicants will be contacted by one of the state’s Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies within two business days to discuss the next steps. Additional documents may be requested from the State.
