Small Businesses Unite to Aid Federal Workers Amid Government Shutdown Crisis
Friend
QUICK READ: With the U.S. government shutdown and running out of funding, federal agencies are bracing to place hundreds of thousands of workers on unpaid furlough until funding is restored. In times of crisis, small businesses can make a significant impact. The "Small Businesses United" campaign is designed to engage and support federal government workers during a U.S. government shutdown. ScanMyPhotos, a family-focused company that digitizes the history of family photos, is leading this campaign to show its care and commitment to helping families affected by the shutdown.
Irvine, CA (September 30, 2023). This campaign showcases small businesses' dedication to helping federal workers and their families. Key components of the initiative include the creation of campaign hashtags (#SmallBusinessesUnited, #SupportingFederalWorkers, and #GovernmentShutdownRelief) to encourage engagement and sharing, as well as the sharing of stories and profiles of federal workers affected by the shutdown, highlighting their resilience and dedication.
Additionally, participating companies will offer exclusive discounts and payment deferrals to federal workers during the shutdown and will create limited-time promotional codes for federal workers to redeem on their websites. ScanMyPhotos.com has gone even further by implementing up to 50% discounts on all photo scanning services to federal workers using the promo code: ShutdownRelief.
Local restaurants and businesses are also encouraged to join the initiative by providing free meals or discounts to federal workers. Collaboration with local non-profits and community organizations is also crucial in distributing essential supplies to affected families.
ScanMyPhotos' storied support of advocacy campaigns has demonstrated its commitment to socially responsible and community-driven business practices.
