Ways To Support Local Businesses
Give the Gift of Business
We all have our favorite local businesses, right? Now is a great time to buy a gift card that covers your usual visit. Spread out your use of those cards or give them as gifts to people who might not usually shop there.

Buy Now/Pick Up Later
What about that planned purchase? If its still within your budget, call the business to put a deposit on it or pay for it now to pick up later.
Ask How You Can Help
Do you know the owners of a small business? Ask them how you can be of help. There may be some volunteer work you can do to help them stay afloat.
