Introducing our inaugural list of small businesses, independent businesses, and entrepreneurs that have been working hard to adapt to our new COVID world. These are all businesses or sole proprietors that have taken measures to keep a safe and healthy environment — for their storefront, their studio, their practice, or their online business.

Many experts believe that 30% of small businesses may never reopen again because of this pandemic — yet these businesses are the fabric of our communities and jobs. We need these businesses to not only survive, but to thrive. Take a look at the businesses below and please visit their listings or websites to pledge your support toward local businesses. All it takes is a "Like" to show your support.

About Skip's SupportCovidRecovery.com Initiative

All of these businesses are part of our SupportCovidRecovery.com initiative to help small businesses. In the coming weeks will continue to feature more businesses in our lists and small business features. Let's dive in and highlight businesses that you can visit online or offline today.
