As almost all mom and pop stores need to close during this time there are a few ways we can help as a community! One way to support our local businesses is to purchase gift cards right now to help alleviate their burden of paying rent and their employees while not being able to seat any customers. If it's a local grocery store shop there instead. This will ensure that they will be open again once the shelter-in-place order is taken away! Here are a few local businesses that you all shared with me on Instagram that we can help support:
