Yaki-peeps:
Hiiii. The world has changed at a wild speed, and we know many of us are just trying to catch up while social distancing and staying healthy. It’s challenging, and we're up to the challenge, along with so many of you.
We are beyond impressed with the ingenuity, kindness, flexibility, and generosity of our community. Local businesses are pivoting real-time in order to keep their businesses viable, and also serve the community.
Shout out to Ken and Jackie Schlieman from Premier Fitness, who are not only creating online videos of workouts but also loaning out their equipment (EVEN SPIN BIKES) to their members (um, who needs Peloton?). McIlrath Farm Market and Produce Delivery kicked into high gear and expanded their produce delivery and pickup service (you can also add local goods like bread, honey, and coffee to your box). And we have spied so many free meals for kids at restaurants and changing policies to accommodate this unique time.
This is what Yakima stands for, and we want to do what we can to help. We don’t have fitness equipment or healthy treats, but we do have a website. So, we’ve changed the Yakima365.com homepage into a Community Connector, where you can find all the information on our local establishments who are changing the way they do things.
It’s not fancy, nor pretty, but it’s a one-stop list. Please share it with any and all, especially those who are not on social media. We are updating it as info comes in, so refresh on the reg.
You’ll probably be seeing us a bit more frequently in your inbox. Not only are we home now, we also want to keep us all connected a bit more. So expect to see updates and probably some bad jokes coming your way.
Yours in local love,
Bridget + Lauren
