John,
One of my favorite things to do in Hallowell is walk down Main Street and visit the local shops and restaurants, all with their own unique flavors and style.
My family and I love dining at Slate’s Bakery, getting coffee at Traverse, handmade protein bars at Juiced and and shopping locally at places like Boynton’s and Hallowell Clay Works. But with social distancing in place and many businesses forced to close their doors in this time of crisis, how can we support them so that they can survive?
Congress and our state government are working on relief legislation of all kinds, and a few hundred of Maine’s 147,270+ small business owners have signed a letter urging Governor Janet Mills to act swiftly.
But there are things you and I can do right now that could mean the difference between keeping our favorite local places alive and them having to keep their doors shut for good.
Here’s how you can help:
John, while we move through this unique time, we have a great opportunity to show the world what Mainers are all about. We have a chance to practice kindness and compassion and think creatively about supporting each other in all the ways we can.
In Solidarity,
Betsy Sweet
