Local businesses are a vital component of our community. Sadly, many of them continue to be deeply impacted by the pandemic and are experiencing myriad difficulties during these trying times. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways we can help support them while adhering to safe physical distancing standards. Whether it’s ordering take-out from our favorite local restaurants, purchasing items from their online stores, buying gift cards and certificates for future in-person use, or participating in their virtual coaching or fitness services, we can all play a part in ensuring the future success of our community businesses. 
    As you know, our Natural Awakenings advertisers are the lifeblood of this magazine. We love our beloved community partners and want nothing more than to see them continue to thrive. Our advertisers are doing everything they can to continue to support our healthy living community by offering products and services in accordance to social distancing guidelines as well.
