Merced County launches ‘Support our Restaurants’ campaign in to help local eateries [Merced Sun-Star (Merced, Calif.)]
Jan. 9—Merced County and its six cities are launching a “Support our Restaurants” campaign in an effort to help local restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The goal of the campaign is to use social media to promote local restaurants that have been impacted by the State’s COVID-19 restrictions regarding on-site dining.
“It’s been devastating,” said Merced Mayor Matt Serratto. “Many local restaurants are struggling for their survival.”
Serratto says a lot of small businesses have struggled during the pandemic, with a lot of spending dollars being shifted toward big businesses.
