You can do your part to help out these businesses.  Instead of shopping on-line, out of state or even out of country, look to buy local.  Find a local business and their website.  If they don't have a website, call them and see if you can order by phone or if they offer pick up or delivery

According to the Bismarck Mayor Steve Bakken, "Our local hometown, homegrown businesses are the lifeblood our community.  We need to do all we can to support them during this difficult time."
