Because of the pandemic everyone is struggling. If they are not in bad situation at the moment they may end up in one soon or will know someone who does.
During such a difficult time we would want to help anyone that needs it. Some people have been following their dream by starting up a company. Especially for the people who recently started up their financial situation can be vulnerable. It may even get worse considering that all the effects have not yet been calculated in.
I have always said we need to build resilience locally – Eric Garcetti
Companies should have enough cash to cover up difficult times and to be resilient. Unfortunately it’s much easier said to be done. Companies have even more obligations then with personal finance. Businesses don’t only have to feed their own people, they have to put up the money for all their employees. So why shouldn’t we support the companies in our neighborhood?
Buying food locally means that it can be really fresh, without such a heavy bad influence on the environment. At the same time buying from companies close by helps improve local wealth and employment opportunities nearby. It creates future possibilities for yourself, your children or people that you know. Let’s support the companies nearby and help them get through this difficult time. If you need food or other purchases why not buy it at the small company instead of the multimillion companies?
