Supporting our local businesses, especially those that rely heavily on in-person interactions is more important than ever.
The Castle Pines Chamber of Commerce Directory is a GREAT way to connect with local businesses. Check out our directory HERE!
We encourage you to consider ways that you and your organization might safely and responsibly assist one another. Here are some suggestions for ways you can support the businesses you love.
1.) Carry-out and delivery is still an option for many restaurants.
Getting a carry-out order or calling for delivery is still a great option! You don’t have to cook, and the restaurant is still making some money. Its a win win!
2.) Buy gift cards from your favorite restaurant or boutique.
There will come a time in which small businesses will be open again, so why not purchase a gift card now, that you can use later? This is a fantastic way to make sure that your favorite restaurant or store is getting some income right now, when the business needs it the most.
3.) Shop online.
Not all boutiques or retail stores may have the option to offer online shopping, but if they do, it’s a great way to support a small business and practice social distancing.
4.) Buy local produce.
The super grocery stores and markets are doing a great job keeping up with the high demand, but try grocery shopping at a local market to help support those workers. Local markets are already great at providing the freshest produce to the community, but during these trying times, they will need our support more than ever. If they’re open, swing by!
5.) Consider a donation.
Not everyone is able to do this, but if your income won’t be affected by the coronavirus pandemic, consider a donation to a local business that could need it. It doesn’t matter if it’s writing a check or even cooking a meal for the employees, any sort of assistance could mean the world to someone who isn’t sure how they are going to pay their bills next month.
6.) Leave a positive review.
Now that you have extra time at home, how about giving your favorite small businesses a Yelp, Facebook or Google 5 star review?! Many small businesses are closed down now and have no income. This would be a great way to help our small businesses get back on their feet after social distancing has passed.
