Many of us are looking for ways to support businesses impacted by the pause on travel. From shopping online to to-go kits and donations, the links below benefit local businesses in the tourism and hospitality field.
Shop Online
You can support local tourism businesses by purchasing gift cards or shopping for items via their online stores. Buy a gift card or product as a treat for you, a celebration for later or as a gift for someone who needs a little pick-me-up.
You can purchase an e-gift card from the tiny coffee shop. With an array of drink options, you can grab a drink at the original Stockbridge, Georgia location or the newest location in College Park between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m.
Shop beautifully crafted, handmade leather goods, clothing and more at the Holy Cow Leather & Goods online store. The small business is offering specials like discounted grab bags. Don’t miss your chance to enjoy the deals!
At-Home Activities

With normal business operations stopped or limited, some businesses have come up with creative ways to serve their customers. Whether you are looking for something to do at home with your kids, or you just want to show your support, check out these options.
