Hey Everybody! Let us rally together to support locally owned business impacted by the snow!

Small business are the places that make our communities special – the cozy cafes, the unique boutiques, the family-owned restaurants, farmstand's, and even your favorite cooking studio! The reality is, snowstorms mean fewer customers, impacting their bottom line and making it harder to weather the winter months.

Let's remember our local gems during this snowy season. They're not just businesses; they're our neighbors, friends, and the hearts of our communities.

Here are a few ways we can show our support:

Shop Local (When Safe to Do So): If you can safely get out, pop into your favorite shops and restaurants. Even a small purchase makes a difference.

Order Online or by Phone: Many small businesses offer online ordering or phone orders with curbside pickup or delivery. Take advantage of these options to support them from the comfort of your home.

Buy Gift Cards: Gift cards are a great way to support businesses now and give the gift of local goodness later.

Spread the Word: Share your favor
ite small businesses on social media. Let your friends and family know how much you appreciate them and encourage them to support local too.

Be Patient and Kind: Snowstorms can cause delays or disruptions. Be patient and understanding with small business owners and staff. A little kindness goes a long way.

Let's rally together and help our small businesses weather this storm. They're there for us all year round; let's be there for them now.
