We think Sara Vaskov, owner of @HandsGallerySLO ✨ a local boutique in Downtown San Luis Obispo, member of the Downtown SLO Economic Activities Committee, and Sip ‘n Saunter & Art After Dark participant said it best when she posted on March 22, 2020:⁠
⁠
“As most of you know, we have had to temporarily close the doors to our Downtown store, Hands Gallery. We are happy to do so in hopes that our community can stay healthy & we will be able to open our doors sooner rather than later. But I’m not going to lie, being deemed a “nonessential “ business is a punch in the gut. We get it, buying the items we sell are not a necessity at this moment. But life is still happening. People are still having birthdays & anniversaries. People will graduate & get married — even though it might look a bit different this year.⁠
⁠
Please keep all nonessential businesses in your thoughts. If you can, make an online or Instagram purchase. Purchasing gift cards to use at a later date is beyond appreciated as well. We realize this unprecedented historical event does not just affect us. We also need non-monetary support. Share our website, comment and like our posts, share our posts, or just give us an encouraging word. You all & this community mean the world to us.“⁠

#TAKEOUTTUESDAY 😋 We have so many incredible restaurants, cafes and eateries in our Downtown that are working so hard to stay afloat! To all our (healthy/low risk) residents we want you to show your love and support by ordering takeout! And if you’re not comfortable leaving your home, many places are offering delivery as well! Find a full list of restaurants offering takeout/delivery on our website: DowntownSLO.com 🍽 Local businesses need our support more than ever to endure the challenges that are widely affecting the business community.

If consumers do not want to place an order this Tuesday, we encourage you to purchase a gift card to use at a later date. #GreatAmericanTakeout #EatDowntownSLO #WeAreDowntownSLO

In an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our community, the San Luis Obispo County of Health announced an executive order temporarily prohibiting alcohol sales at all alcohol-serving establishments from 5PM Monday, March 16 to 12:01PM Wednesday, March 18. The announcement comes a day after CA Governor advised all bars, wineries, night clubs and brew pubs shut down, and all restaurants reduce their occupancy by half.

As we navigate this complex new reality, we are taking steps to make sure our businesses, employees, and neighbors in our beloved downtown are supported. We want everyone to be safe and practice good hygiene. Social distancing is the new norm for the time being. But if you want to help, and many of you do want to help, here are a few ways you can help support local small business, wherever you are. #WeAreDowntownSLO #shareslo #sanluisobispo #readyslo #shopsmall #neighborshelpingneighbors #resilient #downtownslo

At the direction of the State of California Public Health Department, we are suspending the Downtown SLO Thursday Farmers’ Market through the month of March due to COVID-19 concerns. We take the health and safety of our guests, vendors, staff and community very seriously. We urge everyone to follow guidelines and protocols put forth by public health officials.

We are working closely with State, County and City agencies to determine the best course forward and communicate the facts, which are changing daily. There are currently no confirmed cases in San Luis Obispo County but the State is making every effort to slow the rate of transmission of COVID-19.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you soon. Please check our website: DowntownSLO.com for more details and updates regarding our programs.
