Small Shop Saturday

Showing Support From A Distance

Lots of businesses and industries have been negatively impacted with the current events. I won’t repeat what you already know but instead, encourage all of us to find ways to help one another if we can. If you are feeling financially fortunate during these times and thinking of ways to lift others up, I wanted to share some small shops + businesses that could use our support. A little can go a long way. If you are unable to purchase, there are small ways you can still help by visiting their social media pages to like + save a post or leave a comment. These small actions help drive traffic to their pages.

I’m not sure of the impact by me sharing this info but figured it doesn’t hurt. I’m an empath and it’s in my nature to care about others and find ways to help.

These shops are narrowed down from my Instagram submissions (submitted by owners or nominated) along with some of my favorites. Listed by category with promo codes + delivery info if applicable.
