Wyndham small business support during COVID - Members Statement

09 June 2021

I know that many are doing it tough right now, especially small businesses in my community and the workers that rely on them. I want to personally say to my small businesses: I know this is a deeply distressing and anxious time for you all. My office is here for you and ready to assist you and help you meet these challenges head-on. Please do not hesitate to pick up the phone and give us a call. Our local community in Wyndham is a really great community for pulling together in times like these to help people in need. I would like to remind folks to continue to shop local. Our business community need you right now, and we need you to stick by them, whether it is getting a hot cup of coffee in the morning or popping into cafes like the Little Growling Cafe in Tarneit to pick up one of their daily specials, like the burger-and-chip boxes I saw on Facebook last night. Rashi and her team need us, and there are so many other businesses that need us and our support to keep them afloat right now, as do many other local businesses. But the sooner we get these case numbers down the sooner we can all get back to normal, and by the looks of the numbers today we are heading in the right direction.
