Undoubtedly, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted local retail businesses, restaurants, and nonprofits, forcing the conversation to shift from growth and sustainability to survivability.
By shopping local this holiday season, we can all be a part of rebuilding our community by supporting the small businesses, restaurants, and nonprofits which may help keep their doors open.
