SaveOurFaves is a directory of Bay Area restaurants and coffee shops that offer online gift cards for purchase. By providing this resource, the initiative hopes to mobilize loyal customers to provide much-needed support for their favorite places in town. They also link to staff donation sites, if available.
The initiative was created by the couple Kaitlyn & Mike Krieger who started buying gift cards to help supporting their favorite cafes and restaurants during this unpredictable time. The initiative also encourages customers to tip generously (even for delivery/pickup), since employees are doing extra work and putting their health at risk. There is also a petition that can be signed to encourage lawmakers to offer emergency small business loans and to demand that small businesses are part of the federal stimulus plan.
