The last week has brought about many changes across the globe. As a Destination Marketing Organization, Visit Stockton has had a front row seat to the economic impacts of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in our community. As Stocktonians, we know how to lean in when things get tough and we know how to produce results. The Visit Stockton team has been hard at work coming up with strategies to assist our community and pass along the most up-to-date and accurate information possible.

You'll notice that this week's events email looks a little different. Below you will find links to helpful resources to aid you and your family as we all navigate this unprecedented and uncertain time. Please read through the information we have provided and share it widely. Together, we can help each other stay safe and aid our city as we work to move through current economic setbacks.

Visit Stockton will continue to stay in contact with our local hospitality partners, business owners, non-profits, and government officials, learning how we can best help them, and you. If you are able to do so, please support local small-businesses and non-profits today. As we move through the next days, weeks, and months, your dollars will have a real and lasting impact on their ability to survive and thrive. 

With wishes for a healthy week ahead,
Wes Rhea, Visit Stockton CEO
