Whenever ACC has an event or activity, we rely on families and friends to help. This includes local restaurants and businesses. They are some of our most generous benefactors. They donate their time, manpower, equipment, goods, and services. Without them, our fundraising as well as many of our events and activities would not be nearly as successful. We are extremely fortunate to have them. In this regard, they are part of the ACC Family, too.
These local restaurants and businesses are like individual families that first need to take care of their own family members. Even though they may seem highly successful, the profit margins are much smaller than what you would think. Some operate with less than a ten percent profit margin. So that means that if they must close for a couple of months (or lose 10-15% of their business) during the COVID-19 pandemic, it puts the restaurant or business in jeopardy.
Although, we do not know of the financial situation of individual restaurants and businesses, we should support those in our community as they do for us. Here is a partial list of restaurants and businesses that are part of the ACC Family. Even though some are not conducting their “Business as Usual” schedule or operation, many are open for limited hours and/or limited/reduced services. Nonetheless, ACC urges you to continue to support them just as you do for your own family.
Even if you can’t order their food or flowers right away, “like” and “share” their social media posts or post positive reviews and photos.
