13 Ways to Protect Local Businesses During the Coronavirus Crisis

Join a new hobby recommended by your community

All companies suffer some changes during this period and they also need your support, especially the small ones. But there are some businesses that offer certain tips and hobbies for their community that can be performed virtually as well. 

“We created The Quarantine Kit…and have already sold over 1,000 kits to people who want to learn a new hobby! The kit provides the tools to learn how to knit: chunky yarn, needles, a pattern, and a way to connect with our team through virtual “how-to” tutorials. The therapeutic, meditative benefits that knitting provides has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety – definitely something we all need right now! During this crazy news cycle, we hope this news is a bit uplifting – albeit silly but definitely true to our brand,” said Megan (Schaefer) Teggart, director of communications for knitwear brand Sh*t That I Knit.
