The world around us has looked a lot different in recent weeks. COVID-19 has brought a lot of struggle and hurt, and the response from our Birmingham community has made us proud every step of the way. Nationally, some business categories have found themselves positioned for a surge. We wanted to celebrate a few local companies who fall into those categories—check them out!
