The Door County Emergency Response Fund is concerned about more than just the immediate needs of the community caused by COVID-19. The joint effort between the United Way and the Door County Community Foundation has raised approximately $800,000 for relief efforts, with the bulk of it likely going towards housing assistance. Door County Community Foundation President and CEO Bret Bicoy says there is certainly pain being felt right now but believes it will still be present well into the future.
Bicoy is happy for the response the community has given to the emergency response fund, estimating it is one of the biggest amounts collected on a per capita basis in the state.
