To all our Boots on the Ground, we appreciate you!
Every industry has taken a hit during the covid-19 crisis, but many companies are turning this difficult time into a time of giving. I respect and honor all essential workers, but coming from a family with healthcare workers, I have narrowed my list to companies offering gifts and discounts for healthcare workers and first responders. There may be companies offering special discounts for essential workers, too.
*Please note. These companies are not affiliates and we are not getting paid for this post.
