When our communities are struck by disaster, so many of us are driven by the need to band together to regroup and rebuild. At Stayput Shallow Water Anchors, we are also driven by that need and we are pitching in to help our neighbors wherever we can.
In times like these, knowledge can be powerful. Here is some information that we hope may be helpful for you if you have been affected by the recent storms or if you would like to lend a hand in the recovery process.
