SILVER CITY - Silver City MainStreet is acknowledging downtown businesses that have persevered during the COVID pandemic with Downtown Silver City Strong awards. The awards are a way to say thank you to businesses that have worked hard to stay open and find new and creative ways to operate.
The latest recipients are Single Socks, Kris’ Unique Boutique, Our Paws Cause Thrift Store and Gems by Therese.
Single Socks, which opened for business in 2009, is a nonprofit thrift store that donates 100% of its profits to anti-hunger programs in Grant County.
Kathleen Wigley was Single Socks’ store manager when the Coronavirus pandemic forced the store’s temporary closure in March of last year and its subsequent reopening in June.
