Even though Easter will look a little different for many of us as we navigate Covid-19 concerns, there are still ways to share gifts and support small businesses (which offer delivery, curb-side pick-up and mailing options).
The following is a list gathered from artists and businesses in the Stand UP to Covid-19 Support Rutherford County Small Businesses and Boro BounceBack Facebook groups (great groups to join, by the way, to keep local businesses in mind for different products and needs during this time).
Remember, many businesses will be closing their doors temporarily in observance of Gov. Bill Lee's executive order to close public access to non-essential businesses. However, be sure to check in with your favorite artists or business owners in this time to ask about mailing orders, or simply to plan ahead for when their doors open again. Most of all, be safe and well with your families in this unprecedented time, and show love to local businesses whenever you can.
Call or message these establishments for specials or visit their pages online (I've made each business name is clickable below) to peruse goodies and place orders.
