ANAHEI’M FIRST–Support Local Businesses

By Erin

AnaheI'm First

This year has been a rough one. Ever since covid hit earlier this year we’ve all pretty much been at home. This has caused some very challenging times for all of us because of our ever changing stay at home orders and restrictions. I have been supporting local restaurants and shops as much as I can during this time. I partnered up with ANAHEI’M FIRST for this sponsored post, to share the FREE, easy and instant access to the best deals for the best places in Anaheim. All opinions are my own and I just love dining out (or getting take-out in 2020) to support local small businesses.

“Shop local” and support local restaurants and small businesses during these very challenging times. Orange County along with the rest of Southern California, is still under extreme purple-tier restrictions, which means take-out only. BUT, restaurants and shops are STILL open and need YOUR support more than ever.

ANAHEI’M FIRST


The ANAHEI’M FIRST program helps local restaurants and small businesses in Anaheim. ANAHEI’M FIRST is for the city, its restaurants and small businesses, residents of Anaheim and others in the area. The program is FREE, and the sign-up process is easy. There are a lot of great restaurants AND breweries participating, and plenty of offers to take advantage of to help you save money.
