Shop Small Business - Sat., November 28th
Our small businesses are struggling to keep their lights on! it is estimated that 60% of businesses that shut down during COVID-19 will remain permanently closed. Small Business Saturday could be the lifeline local shops and restaurants need to stay afloat!
This can be done safely with little to no personal contact.
- Call and inquire about shopping hours set aside for customers most at risk.
- Call your favorite local store to ask about purchasing online including gift cards. Most businesses now have an online presence to accommodate online shopping and shipping.
- Order take-out for curbside pick up. Most local restaurants and other food businesses are offering this service and many have also added delivery within a limited radius!
- Even if an online search does not find a website for your favorite local store, give them a call anyway. They are ready and willing to fulfill your shopping needs in a safe and healthy way!

The #ShopSmallOnMainSt social campaign will formally launch on “Small Business Saturday” (November 28). The campaign is designed to help local retailers leverage the power of social media to build enthusiasm for shopping with Boyne City-based businesses.
Local business owners are among the most creative marketers, and their enthusiasm for reaching customers online is contagious. Small Business Saturday is a meaningful way for the community to support small businesses through shopping, ordering take out and sharing their experiences on social media.
Plus, in the midst of the global pandemic, social media is flexible in connecting local shoppers with local businesses.
In addition to Boyne City, at least 24 Michigan Main Streets are expected to participate in #ShopSmallOnMainSt in 2020. Main Street communities stand out through their dedication to building stronger communities and preservation-based economic development.
Our local Main Streets reflect this dedication to community. The social media initiative was created to promote this dedication and the “shop local” message.

New order limits indoor and outdoor gatherings where COVID-19 is more likely to spread from person to person
MDHHS Issues Three-Week Epidemic Order to Save Lives, Protect Frontline Heroes During Fall COVID-19 Surge
New order limits indoor and outdoor gatherings where COVID-19 is more likely to spread from person to person
LANSING, MICH. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued a new emergency order today that enacts a three-week pause targeting indoor social gatherings and other group activities in an effort to curb rapidly rising COVID-19 infection rates.
Under this order, indoor residential gatherings are limited to two households at any one time. However, MDHHS strongly urges families to pick a single other household to interact with over the next three weeks, consistent with new guidance released by the department. The order is aimed at limiting residential and non-residential gatherings where COVID-19 spreads rapidly. Bars and restaurants will be open for outdoor dining, carry-out and delivery only. Gyms will remain open for individual exercise with strict safety measures in place. Casinos, movie theaters and group exercise classes will be closed. Professional and college sports meeting extraordinary standards for risk mitigation may continue without spectators, however all other organized sports must stop. Colleges and high schools may proceed with remote learning, but must end in-person classes.

CHARLEVOIX COUNTY TRANNSIT NEW SERVICE Senior and Emergency Grocery Service
Charlevoix County Transit announced today that a Senior and Emergency Grocery Ordering/Delivery Service is being added to the services offered by the County’s Transit. While delivery of items such as food pantry boxes, prescriptions and senior meals was well received, the grocery delivery was not widely used during the early months of the pandemic. One of the drawbacks that transit officials noticed was that for curbside pickup available for groceries an individual needed to place their order via a smartphone or web-based application. During the height of the shutdown, the website and app ordering was time consuming and problematic for many and therefore transit didn’t see many requests grocery delivery.
The expansion of the Transit’s delivery program will provided assistance to those needing help with ordering their groceries. County residents who would like to use the Grocery Ordering/Delivery Program can call Program Coordinator at 231.497.1430 on designated shopping days to place their grocery order. The program coordinator will then input the order with the caller, take payment information (credit/debit card) and then place the order as well as scheduling the grocery delivery in transit’s scheduling system. This program is currently limited to in-county grocery stores utilizing the store shopping app.
Designated days/times for orders to be placed:
Monday 1:30-3:00pm
Tuesday 9:00-10:00am and 1:30-3:00pm
Wednesday 1:30-3:00pm
Thursday 9:00-10:00am and 1:30-2:30pm
While this program initially focused on helping our county’s aging population, with a surge in COVID cases and the flu season upon us, transit officials felt this was a worthwhile community service that should be offered to anyone who is in need of help or worried about going into stores. Charlevoix County’s Commission on Aging will assist the Charlevoix County Transit with getting information about this program out to the county’s aging population as well as continue to assist those over 60 years old with transit fares for in-county rides as well as out-of-county medical appointments.
For more information about Transit rides or the free delivery services offered, please call 231.582.6900 between 7:30am and 4:30pm, Monday through Friday.

Charlevoix County Transit received Heros In Motion Award
On November 10th, Charlevoix County Transit’s Director Jill Drury and several staff members accepted the Heros In Motion Award from the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA) and Toyota USA. The award was presented to four transit agencies for their innovation and dedication to community during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Upon accepting the award, Drury stated, "We are honored to be recognized for the service we provide to our communities. Like many transit agencies, Charlevoix County Transit adapted quickly and began providing non-traditional transit services such as food and prescription deliveries to our county residents.” Drury thanked CTAA for their work on behalf of rural and small urban transit agencies and Toyota USA for their support of public transit. “So many transit agencies across our country are working hard during this pandemic and we thank you for being chosen for this award."
During the award introduction it was noted that Charlevoix County Transit officials noticed that grocery delivery was not being utilized due to consumers having to use a web-based program or app to order groceries. That observation spearheaded discussions between Transit and Commission on Aging and culminated in a new Grocery Ordering and Delivery Service which will begin in early December. Initially the service will be available to anyone in the community and once we’re in a post-pandemic climate, there will likely be eligibility criteria established for the service.
Charlevoix County Transit has provided passenger transportation services to Charlevoix County residents since 1980. For more information about transit’s services, call 231.582.6900 or email info@cctransit.org. |

CHARLEVOIX COUNTY TRANSIT - Transit service will not be available on Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27 due to the Thanksgiving Holiday. Normal service will resume on Monday, November 30th.
As COVID-19 cases continue to rise and hospitals across the state report near capacity levels, many agencies and businesses are making changes, such as going to ‘appointment only’ or limiting the number of shoppers in a store at a time. Charlevoix County announced earlier this week that their building would go to an “appointment only” basis for all offices and services. Charlevoix County Transit announced today that they are reducing capacity on all transit vehicles to allow for better social distancing.
To support the health of passengers, drivers, and community members, Charlevoix County Transit will institute new passenger limits to promote better social distancing beginning Monday, November 16, 2020. Charlevoix County Transit is encouraging residents of the county to utilize the transit’s delivery services whenever possible for items such as groceries, prescriptions and food pantry boxes. Additionally, transit officials stated that passengers should limit their travel to essential trips such as to work, medical appointments or for essential shopping and banking.
“We understand that many people depend on Charlevoix County Transit for access to work, medical appointments, grocery stores and other essential services,” said transit director Jill Drury. “Our priority is to ensure we provide a safe environment for both our customers and our operators. By reducing capacity and increasing our cleaning protocols we are making the health and safety of our communities a priority”.
Transit service is available Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 4:30pm. For trip or delivery information, please call 231.582.6900.
