Supporting Local Small Businesses During COVID19

3/23/2020

Right now small businesses need your continued help and support! Here is how you can help!

#1 - Spend money at a small business (and help them stay alive!)

There are lots of ways for you to spend money at a local business during COVID19 restrictions!

Online Shopping
Many of our businesses, like Dudley's Bookshop Cafe, Just a Little Charm or Oregon Body and Bath have online stores so that you can continue to shop with them. Look up your favorite business, and shop online!

Gift Certificates Sales
Most of our businesses offer online gift certificate sales. This is a great way to support small businesses that need the income now, and provide you with an experience to look forward to after all this craziness is over. Most businesses, like Looney Bean Cafe, Lone Crow Bungalow and Wren and Wild, have direct online gift certificate sales. Look up your favorite Downtown Bend business, or click on their name on the list below to be directed to their website, and purchase a gift certificate today!

Pick-up or Delivery
Many of our local businesses are still open for curbside pick-up or home delivery. Click here to access this amazing list created by Visit Bend. (Thank you, Visit Bend!)

You can also access information on open businesses (and list your business) on this website provided by KTVZ.

# 2 Stay connected to your small business community! ('like' their social media, leave a positive review, or send a kind message)

If you are not in a position to spend money at a local business, you can still help by leaving a positive review for a local business, and liking and sharing their social media posts. Liking their social media accounts will also help you stay updated to their changing hours and special offers during this time.

To make this easier for you, we've provided the links below for Downtown businesses. Take a moment to scroll through the list, leave a quick review, and 'like' their Facebook page to stay connected to your Downtown community!
