Supporting a Living Wage in Orange County

At the Hillsborough Chamber of Commerce 2020 Awards Gala and Celebration, Colin and I were delighted to meet Rachel Mehalek, Certification Coordinator for Orange County Living Wage. This 502(c)3 non-profit depends on volunteers to spread the word that a living wage benefits everyone. According to their website, “we recognize local businesses and organizations who pay the 2020 living wage of $14.90 per hour, or $13.40 per hour if the employer pays at least half the cost of health insurance.”

In a state where the minimum wage has been stagnant at $7.25 since 2009, Hillsborough Wills & Trusts applauds these efforts and commits to supporting local businesses who share this vision.

Our business will be going through the living wage certification program and hopes to see this campaign flourish. For more details, go to: https://orangecountylivingwage.org/about/
