Support Small Businesses During this Unexpected Crisis

Let's help keep our local businesses in business

By Jennifer Hill Macaroni Kid Fremont Publisher March 14, 2020

With all of the COVID-19 chaos happening around us we are being advised to practice social distancing. The impact this is going to have on our local small businesses is huge. Let's work together and help them out!

There are several ways you can continue to support your favorite small businesses during this trying time:

  • Purchase gift cards now to use later
  • Comment on their Facebook and other social media posts 
  • Share their social media posts
  • If your child is enrolled in any extra-curricular activities, don't cancel. Instead, take advantage of makeup classes in a month or two when this all settles down
  • Take advantage of locally-owned restaurants who are offering home delivery or curbside pick up allowing you to skip going into the actual restaurant
  • Write Facebook reviews
  • Write 5-star Yelp reviews
  • Write Google reviews
  • Say thank you! 

Let's all do our part to help the local small businesses make it through.
