HOW TO MAKE THE BEST “LA CARE PACKAGES” – AND SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES DOING IT

LA’s small businesses and the community of employees that rely on them for income need our help now more than ever. After facing storefront closures, many have begun offering curbside pickup or delivery options in order to stay afloat during this difficult time.

 

HOW TO SUPPORT LOCAL LA BUSINESSES

 

If you CAN, utilizing these options are a fantastic way to support your community and help these businesses stay afloat. All while we are all quarantined. In fact, it’s a great way to let a loved one know you’re thinking of them from afar.

 

Looking to send a friend who’s celebrating a birthday while in quarantine a care package? Or, a simple “just because” gift? Or – do you just want to treat yourself? Because damn it, if you don’t deserve it now, then when would you?

 

AWESOME. So I’ve put together a list of ideas below. Including themed care packages you can create with goods from your local businesses who need your support. But if you’re unsure of what to get for a friend, remember that most businesses are also offering gift cards at this time. And are a huge help, too. We love you, Los Angeles!
