13 Ways to Protect Local Businesses During the Coronavirus Crisis

Follow their tips and tricks

Certain small businesses give you the opportunity to create certain ideas, and you will help them a lot if you choose to follow their advice and prove it with a picture. For example, if a small company that produces natural cakes or juices posts a recipe and encourages you to do the same, they would appreciate it if you would make that pie, take a photo of the results and post it to your online platforms.

“For us, we want to know what you’re baking at home. We’re always, always happy to share recipes with folks (and know our industry friends and family are too!). Reach out to your favorite restaurants via DM and ask for our recipes. Tag us in your baking (or cooking) projects! With kids home from school, too, we imagine people are looking for a project–get them involved and let us know how you’re doing. We’re here for you!” said Greg Rales, baker and owner at Red Gate Bakery.
