Small businesses help give the Eugene/Springfield area its unique flavor. In addition to quality goods and services, they provide employment opportunities that fuel the local economy. Due to restrictions put in place to slow the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus, small businesses need the support of their communities more than ever. Working together to curb the economic harm caused by the pandemic will ultimately benefit everyone.
While restaurants and bars statewide are now closed to sit-down customers, most still have take-out and delivery options available. Local catering and entertainment companies, hit hard by new mandates that limit social gatherings, are also finding ways to offer services to the public.
Below is a roundup of area businesses that could use your support. Many are offering delivery services through apps like GrubHub, UberEats, and DoorDash. Most businesses also offer curbside pickup of food and products, and online shopping deals abound for those staying at home. Check each business’ social media for the newest updates.
