Now more than ever our small businesses need our support. Great to see support for our mom and pop shops downtown today. We passed by the Winged Rabbit for holiday gifts made from local artists and then lunch to-go at The Fat Greek. #shopsmall https://t.co/noMIGquWQQ

So many individuals & businesses in our community are looking in the mirror & asking what more can we do? This kind of local resilience really helps while we await federal relief. At 1AM @PentucketBank staff were in their offices (6+ ft apart), processing @SBA_MA applications=�
Pickin up take-out at Gs in downtown Haverhill tonight. Delicious southern flare. If you can, bombard restaurants with takeout instead of hoarding supermarket products. https://t.co/1X62ZVRgGr
The program is back up & revamped! In short time, we've raised ~$25K in matching funds for gift cards to local restaurants, which = $50K infused into local #smallbiz to help w/ cash flow, as we await federal relief. Pitch-in if you can @GrHavChamber https://t.co/a7cX8ZOqgD
We worked w/ the Haverhill Latino Coalition & @GrHavChamber to secure an Urban Agenda grant to survey, analyze, & develop a database of Latino owned biz. Today they presented the report, which highlights economic impact & steps needed to ensure support reaches these businesses. https://t.co/nweGi3UiPV
Thanks to so many partners, we recently accomplished one of my long-term goals of bringing @eforallhq to #Haverhill! After 2+ years of planning, coalition building and countless Zooms, EforAll and EparaTodos are coming to our city to support entrepreneurs of all backgrounds. https://t.co/58WmVazEg0
Last year we organized a Latino #SmallBiz tour to hear directly from entrepreneurs in our community. We received solid feedback & took it a step further. The @GrHavChamber has been awarded a $95,000 state grant to asset map & develop strategies to support Latino small businesses. https://t.co/2zKCIIPACK
Tonight, @MassGovernor announced further steps to mitigate the spread of #COVID-19. There are 7 counties where "community-level transmission" is likely, including Essex County. We'll have more soon on how to best support our local businesses at this time. https://t.co/db906tFvRK
Local restaurants have faced an uphill battle throughout this pandemic. Yesterday we passed legislation to provide relief. Thank you to @GrHavChamber & the many restaurants that reached out to express concerns and ideas. Many thanks to @RepMichlewitz & @tackeychan for leading. https://t.co/bBqmUpQlw5
One small but important way to help local restaurants w/ cash flow during this time is by purchasing gift cards. The @GrHavChamber has launched a pooled fund to match gift card purchases for local restaurants. You can donate to that fund and find info here:https://t.co/uePQ13wc0x
