Many of the small businesses we work with have been approaching us for information. We look at every small business owner who is a part of WindsorEats as friends and family. We truly care for their well being and as much as we’re going through struggles as well, it devastates us to know what they’re all going through.
To help them and others in even the slightest way, we’ve compiled a list of COVID-19 and employer/employee information that can help make this journey even the slightest bit easier. We’ll continue updating it with any other support or programs that may be announced.
In addition, WindsorEats will continue to do regular live-streaming on our Facebook and Instagram accounts to help keep folks informed of developments of the situation in the Windsor-Essex region for the food, drink and tourism industries.
We’re asking for your support. To help us generate even the smallest bit of revenue during this time, we encourage you to click on the advertisement below.
