Community rallies around Curwensville business damaged by storm

CLEARFIELD COUNTY (WTAJ) – The Alettas Farm Market in Curwensville was heavily affected by the storm remnants of Hurricane Debby on August 9.

The storm took down a giant oak tree that landed on the backside of the building . The owner confirmed that the tree took out the power and it’s still out because it damaged the access port to turn it back on.

But with every storm comes a rainbow.

Immediately after the storm, the Curwensville community jumped in to help the local business. A GoFundMe was created by Mariah Dunsmore and it has already raised over $5,000 for the business to help rebuild what was damaged.

The tree smashed not only destroyed the porch but also the apartment that’s in the building. Arbors Pro’s LLC. helped to remove the tree, but there is still a lot of rebuilding to do.

“Please make a point to those of you are passing through on your way to work or on your way home from work to stop in and make a purchase to help support Aletta and her family. They are planning to stay open through the rebuilding process so even if you see a lot going on in the parking lot, she is still open for business,” Arbor Pro’s LLC said in a post .
