Success stories

We're celebrating the power of our local business community.

During the COVID crisis, countless local businesses – big and small - rallied to keep Sacramento strong and thriving.  We’re celebrating these businesses and their entrepreneurial spirit and resiliency to power through in the face of adversity not only for themselves, but their employees, and the essential frontline workers keeping our community safe. 

Share your business reinvented story with us at SacramentoPowersForward@smud.org.
Celebrating J.J. Pfister Distillery in Rancho Cordova for switching production from craft spirits to hand sanitizer for essential workers, including our very own crews. In doing so, J.J. Pfister provided jobs for out-of-work hospitality professionals and together, they produced more than 16,000 gallons of WHO-approved hand sanitizer in just 2 weeks. Shout out to J.J. Pfister for reinventing business at such an important time. 

Thanks to our partner Single Mom Strong, Inc. for reinventing their business model and providing FREE child care to essential workers. SMS has implemented strong safety measures while providing kids with a nurturing environment while their parents work the front lines. 

We're celebrating the power of ingenuity during these times and sharing the Sacramento Zoo’s effort to bring the Zoo to you. Check out their live sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays at 11 a.m. 

We're celebrating the power of good in our local business community. SolomonsDelicatessen, in partnership with SacramentoCovered, transformed their full-service restaurant into a community kitchen to feed those in need. Support your local business during this time.
