With COVID-19 restrictions, Twin Cities businesses turn to alternatives to support staff

Earlier this week, Gov. Tim Walz ordered the temporary closure of restaurants, bars and "places of public amusement." 

The order allows restaurants to remain open if they operate by offering takeout only. 

Because of the order, fundraisers have been started for some businesses to help support their staff and keep the business afloat for the future. 

Below is a list of businesses/unemployed workers you can help support:

• Seward Cafe
• Electric Fetus
• May Day Cafe
• Modern Times Cafe
• Spyhouse Coffee
• El Taco Riendo
