This is a great time to support our small, local grocers. Nick at the Willows Market is posting to Facebook every day to let his customers know what is in stock. He has eggs, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and many other products that people need, and he has worked really hard to keep groceries in stock when the large distributors have refused to supply him. The store is practicing physical distancing, cleaning the baskets and carts and doing all it can to keep the community supplied. His staff is friendly, patient and careful. We need these markets to still be here when all of this is over; they are crucial to our sense of community. The best way to ensure that is to support them now.

With so much unemployment locally, I wish the grocery stores would hire more people, especially for home delivery.

Thank you grocery store and local market employees!! We see you and appreciate everything you are doing for your communities. Stay healthy!
