"As a small business serving other small businesses, we know everyone is being severely impacted by COVID-19." says Lori Giuttari, CMO/COO at Visual Thrive. "Small business makes up over 95% of RI companies, and our goal is always to showcase how incredibly important it is to help them innovate and thrive."

Harry Adler, owner of Adler's Design Center & Hardware, notes, "We were an essential business, so no one mandated that we close, but my staff was getting uncomfortable. We weren't trying to do an easy thing, we were trying to do a safe thing."

JoEllen Hockenbrough, Providence Power Yoga reflects that, "When we shut down, it wasn't just closing our doors, it was the loss of community. We've now outfitted studios with major technology."

Carlo & Alecia Catucci, White Dog Distilling, said "We had to figure out what we were going to do... and we had to do an overhaul on our entire business."
