10 Ways You
Can Help Local
Businesses
Right Now
Small businesses need our help now more than ever. Here are 10 creative ways to lend your support without risking your health.
Information by Melody Warnick from Livability
Social distancing is the right thing to do right now, full stop. But the worry is that if everyone stays home, we won’t just shut down Covid-19, we’ll shut down small businesses as well. Most local businesses have already lost massive amounts of revenue as people self-quarantine, and some states are start- ing to mandate the closure of bars and restaurants. With potentially weeks’ worth of lost income, the local businesses that are so integral to the fabric and character of our communities may not have the margin to survive.
So maybe quit panic-buying toilet paper and start panic-buying stuff from the local stores, restaurants and service providers you care about. Here’s how to support the small businesses that need your help right now — without risking your health.
