The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce is working with state officials on a “shop at home” campaign to help local businesses. Chamber CEO Lisa Farquharson says with the pandemic it’s more important than ever to help hometown stores that have been impacted by a loss of business. Farquharson says many local businesses have adapted by using on-line and telephone ordering during the pandemic, but it’s important the community is aware the businesses are out there and of what they contribute to local life.
