Hey GetGoers!

It’s been an eventful month, and we’ve all been doing our part to tide through this tough period together as a community. As we stay at home and continue to practise social distancing, there are many ways that we can help to sustain our local scene. Here are some simple initiatives that we can get behind to #SupportLocal! ????

1. EAT

Staying at home more often gives us a reason to indulge – after all, we’ve been deprived of our favorite pastime of dining out. These small food businesses are a few out of many shops that we can support, and give ourselves a treat at the same time! ????
