The past year has been incredibly challenging for business owners throughout the country, and our local business community in Downtown Cincinnati is no exception. These local businesses are an essential piece in the fabric of our community. But right now, many of them are struggling. You might not realize it, but between the pandemic, and the winter months when the cold weather and loss of daylight makes us want to hibernate inside our homes, it’s possible that by the time spring rolls around, some of them will be gone.
Right now, we're encouraging you to patronize the businesses you love so much so they're able to stay open. Whether you feel comfortable enough attending in-person events, restaurants and shops (so you can give a “Brick-and-Mortar Boost”) or you feel better supporting from home (or "Helping From Home"), we've curated a list of ways you can support your favorite Downtown establishments. We remain optimistic for 2021, but it is critical that we support local businesses this winter, so they’re here this spring.
Scroll down for ideas on how you can support small businesses this winter, in our effort to #SaveLocal.
