If you applied for the EDIL prior to the signing of the CARES ACT last Friday, then you should apply again and you will notice the application process is easier. Small Business, Independent Contractors, Sole Proprietors, Non-Profits (501C3).

A message from Johnny Caito with OB Eats
FREE Program for Restaurants See his message below... Along with running OB Eats, I also have a restaurant marketing company. I've put together a FREE curbside pickup program for local restaurants. We will run ads, deliver special offers, and promote pickup and delivery options. The only thing the restaurant would pay is the ad spend (can do as low as $5/day). Again...this is FREE! I'd like to help out as many places as I can. I live here, work here, and love OB, and I'll do whatever I can to help. If you know someone that owns, manages, or is in the restaurant space here in OB, PL, or surrounding areas, will you please share this link with them or have them reach out.
