At Forge we understand that now more than ever is a time when we need to lean on our Birmingham community for support and encouragement. How can we continue to support small businesses in Birmingham during this pandemic? Thankfully there are so many ways to show your love to a local business even when you’re quarantined. Please let us know how we can best support you by emailing us at info@workatforge.com.
Bham Now is offering FREE local business listings that include information on: how to order online (or via phone), virtual classes, curbside pickup, special offers. And we recently partnered with several local businesses for our International Women’s Day Celebration so we asked them how we can support them right now. Read on to see what you can do to help the small businesses around Birmingham.
Till
“The best way that people can support us is by shopping weekly to support our farmers during this time staying in. Our cart is open to shop Alabama proteins, produce, and pantry items Sunday-Wednesday and we deliver every Saturday! Our farmers are still growing nutritious foods and need the community’s support. Our simple and convenient solution is all at usetill.com.”
JuicedUp Essentials
“As the Pizitz Food Hall is closed, right now we are offering online gift cards that can be purchase now and used at a later time. Supporting us through purchasing gift cards would be awesome for us.”
Nourish
“We are in a great position as a meal delivery company to be able to serve so many that are home bound and not able to go to the grocery store and make food. We are continuing our subscription meal delivery on Sundays and have opened up a curbside pick up for 1 time orders at our facility as well (no contact) – email info@nourishmeals.com.”
Blueroot
“We’ve launched an option to order kitchen essentials – like proteins, grains, vegetables, dressings, and snacks – online for contact-free pick up. We’re partnering with Stone Hollow to provide access to fresh, local produce for those who want to purchase. We’ve teamed up with the Mayor’s office, Shipt, United Way, Pepper Place, PAC health, UAB, and so many others on Bham Strong >> through this public/private coalition, we’re preparing food to be delivered to our neighbors in need, identifying employment opportunities for those in our industry who are out of work, and providing tele-health support to communities in need (e.g. elderly).”
Botanica
“Help us get the word out that we launched our online site for people to buy plants and pots online would be super helpful! We’re also offering free curbside pick up and $5 local delivery in addition to USPS priority shipping.”
Ashley Macs
“We are open at Homewood, Cahaba Heights, Inverness and Riverchase from 10:30am-6:00pm. We have an abbreviated cafe menu for take-out or curbside and ‘gourmet to go’ available for store or curbside pickup. Home delivery is also available! Follow us on Instagram for details and updates.”
True40
We started daily online (FREE) workouts today through our website: www.true40studio.com. There is an optional donation. We are also encouraging people to purchase a gift card or retail. To do so, they can reach out on Instagram (@true40downtownbham) OR they can email downtownbham@true40studio.com.
Susan Gordon Pottery
“This Friday, we will have a new kind of restock in addition to our usual restock: a ‘Ready to Ship’ section will be added to our website – this will feature items already created by my team and are ready to ship in a few business days! Most of these items can even still be personalized! A local pick up option is also available, just use code localpickup. We will have instructions sent to you via email on how to do our ‘curbside pottery pickup.'”
Cookie Fix
“It is our desire to accommodate our customers, and protect our team and others. The world needs a cookie and a hug right now, at least we can still provide a cookie! Open from 11 am- 4 pm daily. Baked and frozen dough to go is available! Online orders only at https://direct.chownow.com/order/13291/locations/18622 – Call us when you arrive to pick up your order, and we will meet you at the door.
