Community Support
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) public health threat, there are still things you can do to help support the Huntsville/Madison County community. Whether you're a local or a visitor, your support can go a long way in lending a helping hand to small business owners and others during this time.

Purchase a Gift Card
Even though you may not be able to visit your favorite brick and mortar currently, you might consider purchasing a gift card in the meantime. Check out a list of local Huntsville/Madison County shops, boutiques, and more that offer online or over-the-phone gift card purchases.
Leave a Tip
We may not be going out for a meal or a drink right now, but consider still leaving a 'tip' for a Huntsville service industry worker. This platform randomly selects a Huntsville-based waiter, hostess, bartender, or other hospitality professional and connects you to their Venmo or Cash App, allowing you to support them during this difficult time. Remember- every little bit helps.
Donate
Many Huntsville attractions are struggling with reduced attendance and event cancellations. These organizations add so much to the quality of life for our community, as well as educate visitors and residents alike on history, art, and much more. Now is the perfect time to join a membership program at any of our amazing museums, or consider making a donation. Space Camp, the Huntsville Ballet, and the EarlyWorks Children's Museum have started GoFundMe campaigns to make it easier than ever to support with your wallet.
Food Banks, School Lunch Services, and more
Many services are available to vulnerable populations like school-age children, the elderly, and others. If you find yourself in immediate need, dial the 2-1-1 helpline. Find a list of these valuable resources from our partners at Rocket City Mom.
