Stephen Waguespack from LABI was on the show today to explain the economic impact that the stay-at-home order is having on small businesses as a response to the Coronavirus outbreak. Stephen says that a lot of local businesses in Louisiana might not recover from closing for at least a month. In order to encourage people to support local businesses in during this difficult time, LABI has set up the Gift Card Challenge. The Gift Card Challenge allows people to order a gift from a local restaurant or business and post a picture on social media with the hashtag #giftcardchallenge. This is a great way to get the word out to convince people to support these businesses. To learn more about the Gift Card Challenge, visit labi.org.
