The coronavirus lockdown has hurt many local stores. To help, the SoHy Co-op in Hyattsville is encouraging residents of the Route 1 corridor to shop online at local retailers this Saturday, May 2.
That could be anything from buying something online to getting a gift card to use later, or ordering something for curbside pickup.
With Mother’s Day coming on May 10, it’s also a great time to snag a local gift. And be sure to share your purchase on Instagram and other social media channels using the hashtag #sohyshopsmall.
And if you are going out to pick up something, please wear a face mask as required by Prince George’s County, the state of Maryland and D.C. when going out.
Here’s a quick list to some of the small local retailers selling online and offering pickup and delivery. As always, let us know in the comments if we missed anything.
