Small Businesses During COVID-19

As our country and the world sees the impacts of COV-19, we must work to support one another in every way we can.
One of the cornerstones of our community are our small businesses. With students leaving early and many people becoming less mobile, our small businesses, many of which operate on very thin margins, will face great challenges. We all need to work to minimize the impact and ensure these businesses continue during and following the outbreak.

Here’s how you can help our local merchants:

  1. Buy gift certificates. Even if you don’t use them now, you can use them in the future. Some shops offer these online.
  2. Buy products that will keep, through freezing or other means, from our area stores. STOCK UP LOCALLY.
  3. Some businesses are offering delivery or pickup services. Take advantage of these when you can.
  4. Contribute to PCD’s Small Business Fund to help us provide direct assistance to those in need.

Below is a list of what businesses have available during the outbreak. Please follow their links to learn more:
