The hopeful news of the day is that it’s unlikely the nation will face the worst-case scenario projection for the COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to the unprecedented and decisive actions taken by our civic and public health leaders and the overwhelming cooperation of the American people and businesses large and small to adhere to the established precautionary guidelines.

Yet it remains imperative that we do everything possible to support our locally owned businesses, so here’s a list of special offers and services from our marketing partners. Please bookmark this page as information is being updated constantly.

Greater Haverhill Chamber of Commerce Creates New Program: #HaverhillLocal    [Updated April 8, 2020 at 5:17 p.m.]

The COVID-19 crisis is wreaking havoc on Main Street small businesses across the United States.

The hardest hit are local face-to-face Main Street services — restaurants, bars, coffee shops, barbershops, hair salons, auto repair shops, dry cleaners and others that are living on the brink. These entities, usually sole proprietorships or businesses with fewer than 25, 10 or even 5 employees are running out of cash or already broke.

The Greater Haverhill Chamber has set up a new fund to drive desperately needed cash into these local mom and pops. This fund will allow the Chamber to offset any purchases from participating businesses with a 25% discount. Please consider giving – then go shopping!

Check out participating businesses here: Haverhillchamber.com

See the DoorDash menu to see their current carry-out menu and what specials are running and then call directly at (978) 256-7777.

Also, you thought a global pandemic would stop us from doing what we love? Think again. Next month, we’ll open the doors of our latest project, Stones Social, with dine-in services at whatever social distance is safe and legal, and curbside pick-up and delivery options. Not quite the announcement we had planned, but when life gives you lemongrass, you simmer it with coconut, chicken, and limes and call it Lime in the Coconut Soup for $10.00.

Stones Social is inspired by the social club, the public house, the local diner, a favorite dive – places where friends and neighbors have gotten together for generations. Imagine if Cobblestones and moonstones came together and had a baby – it takes some of the best from both worlds (yes, there will be buffalo tenders) in a space designed for a good time, at the same level of quality that has come to be expected from Stones Hospitality Group.
