Support Small Businesses
While we are currently in trying times, it is important to do our best to still support small businesses. Whether this is your friend’s Etsy shop, your local bookstore, or a neighborhood farmer’s market; our small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities. We are seeing that supporting one another is what we as a community do best, thinking of our neighbors and offering a lending hand.
As we continue on, let’s continue to provide resources, outlets and avenues to help each other as we get through the next few weeks and months ahead.
Recently, I heard about a grant being offered by Facebook for Small Businesses that some of you may want to apply for and continue to support your own small business.
It’s called Boost with Facebook.
