There are many ways you can support local businesses responsibly. COVID-19 precautions are necessary, but have a disproportionate effect on our local, independents. Please visit the directory below often, as our members will be keeping their offerings up to date. Some services have always been around, and some are brand new - online ordering, delivery, pickup, etc.! Everyone can support local - here are some ideas: 

Give the Gift of Business

Buy a gift card (on the phone or online) that would cover your usual spend over the coming weeks. Then spend the gift cards later, or give them as gifts to people who haven't visited before.

Buy Now, Pick Up Later

If you had planned on purchasing an item, give the business a call. Pay for it now and have them set it aside for later pickup.

Keep Up Your Memberships

If you have a membership to a gym, class, studio, etc. keep it going. Many small businesses count on that constant support to keep their doors open so they can be there when you come back.

Curbside Pickup/Delivery

For restaurants and for retail! Many of our local independents are offering this service.

We're all in this together! We'll keep adding to this list of other resources we have found: Keep Louisville Restaurants Strong, Louisville CVB's list of takeout restaurants (w hours and zip code sort) and shopping, Take Out Louisville, Support Louisville Beer (to go from breweries), Facebook Group for Carry Out Options, another Facebook Group for Take Out, Square's giveandgetlocal.com and USA Today's Local Gift Cards.

You can also find our Black-owned business members here and our Under Represented business members here.
