Things are off in the world right now, that can definitely be felt all over Boise. With this confusing time and the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, small and local businesses are struggling. As less people leave their homes, restaurants, cafes, small shops, and other small businesses are going through a difficult time. We have compiled a list of ways small businesses are continuing to offer support to our community. If you have the ability to support small businesses, these might be a few great options!
A few tips on supporting local:
- Purchase gift cards to use at a later date or gift to a friend or someone in need
- Continue to schedule appointments for future self-care treatments, reserve spots at local event centers, or plan for catering in the future
- Purchase local ingredients and products from the grocery store
