As we launch Small Business Season for November, we’re shining a special spotlight on the amazing Wayne County small businesses that are leading with generosity this season. From free hot meals to “Pay It Forward” boards, each of these businesses are showing what community is all about.
Even businesses not listed may still be feeling the ripple effects of this situation. The server taking your order, the cashier ringing up your purchase, or the front desk clerk greeting you might be a family struggling to put food on their own table.
Let’s lead with empathy, shop local, and keep supporting the people who make our community strong — one meal, one purchase, one act of kindness at a time. ❤️ #ShopSmallWC
