LAPLACE—The River Parishes Tourist Commission, led by Director Buddy Boe, recently released www.TastetheRiverParishes.com, a website to help local restaurants through an uncertain and difficult time due to the impacts of COVID-19. It encourages citizens across the River Region to visit restaurants that have remained opened.

“These small business owners are the economic lifelines of our local communities, and we must do everything we can to provide them with critical financial support during these challenging times,” Boe said in a release. “ Whether it’s placing a curb-side order, take-out or grabbing a gift card, please support our small businesses.”

Locals can use the hashtags #TasteTheRiver, #shoplocal and #eatlocal when supporting local restaurants. Visit www.TasteTheRiverParishes.com for more information.
