Help Support Those Impacted by Recent Storms

In response to the recent storms that have impacted many of our local businesses along the Harbor, the Belfast Mayor, and City Council plan to use the ‘Keep the Faith Fund’ to address the needs of the businesses affected by the recent January 2024 coastal storms.

Belfast residents are encouraged to make a donation to the Keep the Faith Fund in support of these local businesses who have been directly impacted with storm damage.

Please make a donation here:
