Supporting our Restaurant Community through Uncertain Times
2020 was a hard year for so many businesses, and restaurants have been one of our local communities’ most struggling business sectors during this time. Changing local guidelines have caused restaurant operators to close, re-open with delivery and takeout only, re-open with limited indoor dining, and back to delivery and takeout only. Very sadly, some won’t survive. Restaurants are vital to our communities, and we are giving back in 2020 by purchasing gift cards from some of our favorite local establishments in the communities we serve, and then providing the gift to others.
