The statement below is by Camden County Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli, Jr., in regard to supporting local restaurants.

“This crisis has sent a shock throughout the entire American economy. While many big companies will be able to weather the storm, small businesses owned and operated by our friends and neighbors here in Camden County are already struggling to stay afloat as we undergo necessary social distancing measures to protect the lives of our residents.

During this time, I want to encourage everyone who can to continue supporting their favorite local restaurants by ordering takeout or delivery. These businesses are still allowed to open and operate pursuant to the governor’s orders and are eager to serve the people of our community. Not only does your order support your favorite establishment’s owners, cooks, and employees, but could help one of the thousands of gig workers on platforms like DoorDash and Grubhub. Your support is critical, now more than ever. We are all in this together.”
