Small Business Love During COVID-19

#INTHISTOGETHER

Hi friends. I wanted to share some of the practical ways that we can all support small businesses in West Michigan during this time. I will update this post as I get new information (thanks for sharing).

If budget is a concern right now, there are simple things you can do that don’t cost a thing. Share/like/comment on a post. Write a review. Send their information to a friend.

Regardless of where you live:

These are the places that make our communities vibrant.
These are the places that we share with people visiting town because they just have to try it.
These are the places that contribute to our local economy, culture, landscape.
These are our places. Let’s protect them.
