Supporting Greater New Haven Business
A Loan at the Right Time
When COVID-19 struck, lockdown restrictions threatened Julie Robbins’ massage therapy and wellness clinic, The Well for Women. The Well has managed to survive with the support of a low-interest loan from The Partnership Loan Program for Minority and Women-Owned Businesses in Greater New Haven, a program created and funded by TCFMIC.
