COVID-19 Update
We hope that you all are safe and healthy amidst this crisis.
Retailers across the nation have announced temporary closures and taken other precautions to do their part in practicing social distancing in order to slow the spread of COVID-19 and keep their communities safe.
Through the uncertainty, we remain positive that we will get through this together and come out stronger than ever and are grateful for our tenants who are trying to make a difference during this difficult time. The U-nique Boutiqe at Sun Valley Commons is accepting non-perishable items all week for the Union County based non-profit Common Heart. Common Heart works to fight hunger and end poverty in Union County. You can learn more about Common Heart here.
Steve Sileo, the owner of Sileo’s New York Deli in Indian Trail, is working to encourage positivity during these unprecedented times. Sileo started a campaign called the “Gift of Giving,” knowing that many parents were going to have a hard time feeding their families. You can read about his amazing efforts in the Union County Weekly.
