Lists of Lists for local COVID-19 shopping and support

Updated 1/13/2022 – Grocery section revised

COVID-19 LIST OF LISTS

We are building lists of where to shop locally, how to support local businesses during this difficult time. We are hoping to expand this list each chance we can get during our Social Distancing and now lock down. We are currently looking for licensed therapists that are setting up teletherapy for our community, as well as lists of local services that are going virtual with classes, workouts, and anything else, we can help get the word out. Please email us your information and we will post for free.

The YS Directory is pretty complete (although not every business) and can help you find local businesses to support. Pick your category, then narrow by town. It will auto filter for you.
