On August 21, Hurricane Erin struck New Jersey's coastline. This powerful storm prompted the state to declare a state of emergency. High tides and strong winds flooded many beaches, especially in Cape May County and Ocean County. The impact on local communities and small businesses has been significant.


At Diva Life, we want to express our heartfelt support for the small businesses affected by Hurricane Erin. These family-owned shops, artisanal stores, and local restaurants are the heart of the Jersey Shore. Now, more than ever, they need our community’s help.


Supporting New Jersey's Local Businesses

Small businesses are the heart of New Jersey's coastline economy.

We encourage everyone to take action. Here’s how you can help:


  • Shop local online or via delivery services. This helps small businesses maintain revenue while recovery efforts are underway.

  • Share resources and support community initiatives aimed at assisting affected businesses.

  • Donate to local relief funds where possible. Your contributions provide immediate aid for repairs and operational recovery.


Even small actions can make a significant difference. Together, we can help these enterprises rebuild and continue serving our community.


Public Safety: Avoid Flooded Areas


Several beaches and coastal areas remain unsafe due to residual flooding and debris. Visitors are strongly urged to stay clear of affected areas until authorities confirm it is safe to return. Prioritizing safety ensures you and others are protected. It also reduces the strain on emergency services.


Ways You Can Help


Here are more ways you can lend a hand:


  • Purchase from local shops that offer online or safe in-person options.

  • Spread awareness about areas still impacted by flooding.

  • Contribute to local disaster relief funds that support small businesses.


The Importance of Community


In times of crisis, our community shines brightest. Supporting local businesses isn’t just about shopping; it’s about fostering connections. Each purchase helps keep the spirit of the Jersey Shore alive.


When we choose to support local, we invest in our community’s future. We help preserve the unique charm that makes our coastline special.


A Call to Action


Let’s come together to help our neighbors. Every effort counts. Whether it’s sharing a post on social media or making a purchase, your actions matter.


Together, we can help small businesses rebuild and keep the Jersey Shore vibrant, resilient, and safe.


Best Regards,

Diva Life
