Ways To Support Falls Church Businesses During Coronavirus Impact

FALLS CHURCH, VA — After Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam issued a statewide "stay at home" order Monday, there are still a number of ways to support Falls Church's businesses. Residents are asked to stay at home, although there are exceptions such as obtaining food. Restaurants can continue operating with takeout and delivery only as specified in Notham's previous executive order.

The Virginia Tourism Corporation and Virginia Restaurant, Lodging, and Travel Association is rallying support for restaurants with Restaurant Lovers Takeout Week from Monday, March 30 to Sunday, April 5. Customers are encouraged to order takeout, delivery, or curbside pickup from restaurants throughout the week. The City of Falls Church has compiled a list of restaurants that have takeout or delivery.

Customers can check individual business websites to see if they're running employee relief funds or gift card sales. Here are a few of the employee relief funds:

• State Theatre
• Clare and Don's Beach Shack
• Ireland's Four Provinces
• Liberty Barbecue
• Dogwood Tavern
• Thompson Italian

Let us know in the comments about other employee relief funds and other ways to support Falls Church businesses.

Falls Church Farmers Market customers can continue to support vendors through pre-orders. The farmers market is allowed to operate Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon with preordered take-out only and up to 10 customers at a time. More information on pre-ordering and social distancing guidelines is available on the city's Farmers Market To Go website.
