COVID-19 Updates and Resources

As the effects of COVID-19 continue to impact our small business community we will be posting links to resources providing support and guidance to help you prepare and stay safe.

Support Small Business

While businesses do everything they can to help halt the spread of COVID-19, there are ways in which you can shop remotely & electronically and support your local restaurants while following safety guidelines.

For example: you can purchase gift cards, shop online, order takeout and delivery.

Purchasing a gift card to your favorite restaurant, shop, or venue is a great way to support local businesses immediately. Whether you give such cards as a gift or save them for future shopping or dining, purchasing gift cards will help businesses now.

Although restaurant dining areas will be closed during the COVID-19 outbreak, you are still able to order take out or delivery from your favorite Rhode Island restaurants and cafes. Several retailers who have temporarily closed are adding new items and updating their websites so that you can shop their collections online.
