We hope that this greets you well and that you are all healthy and doing what you can do to stay engaged as life, work, and school as life has changed a bit. Economy Exterminators has compiled a list of things that might be helpful to everyone as we work through this pandemic as a local community, as a country, and as a global community. We appreciate your business, but moreover, we appreciate you as our neighbor… we are all in this together! Please check in with your elderly neighbors or with friends who may be immunocompromised and do our best to support each other. Empathy and kindness are contagious too!
We want to pass on information that the over-picked grocery store shelves are not telling the whole story. Our community is not in danger of running out of food, according to industry experts. Select items may be in short supply as residents prepared to hunker down in homes to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 Despite the rush, the supply chain for products like fruits, vegetables, and meat has not been disrupted. It’s taking stores a little more time to restock shelves, but the supply is available. If you have elderly neighbors that might not feel comfortable shopping or going out in public, help them order their groceries or help them with their shopping.
