HDT’s Business Partners Program has supported the local economy directly through grants, gift card purchasing, PPE distribution, employee and family testing, business marketing, and public health and safety guidance.
While free testing for COVID-19 was the initial reason many businesses joined, grants to help businesses transition to COVID-safe practices together with gift cards purchased by HDT, have had huge benefits for cash-strapped businesses.
Since its launch in November 2020, over 400 licensed Davis businesses – including restaurants, bars, bakeries and coffee shops, retailers, fitness studios/gyms, medical services (doctors, dentists, therapy), entertainment and apartment complexes, grocery, hardware, hair and nail salons, galleries, and home improvement, as well as select businesses in the office and professional sector – have become Business Partners.
