• Buy gift cards from favorite restaurants or shops to use later.
• Shop online if you’re financially able.
• Buy local produce.
• Consider making a donation to a small business or organization through its website, PayPal or Venmo.
• Tip service workers including servers, food delivery drivers, grocery baggers and more.
• Follow businesses on social and share posts to generate awareness for others to also support.
