Be well!

5 LOCAL LOVES

We are all witness to the severity of the COVID-19 crisis and its impact on our community. While this is a challenging and scary economic time for everyone, perhaps no institutions are more vulnerable than our neighborhood bars and their bartenders. Lars and Tracy Harvey have set up Pint Defiance Tips Fund GoFundMe, earmarking raised funds for the Pint D’s bartenders.

>>>Ttown Apparel is hosting a #tacomastrong T-shirt presale to help raise money for employees of businesses that have temporary closed. The Red Hot has re-released a design that was previously a 2017 staff-only hoody.

>>>Jose Cuervo will be contributing $25 Moctezuma’s meals for local restaurant/bar industry employees when they present their MAST or Food Handler’s permits.
