Some here in Houston are relatively new or are operating on a shoestring. Several are doing virtual events -- drag shows on social media, etc -- to support performers with an online tip jar, not to mention publicity and goodwill. Some are adding food service so that they can operate as take-out or delivery, food plus alcohol, under the way the #stayhome orders are implemented here. And of course, many organize GoFundMe's, food drives, etc., including funds for (unfortunately) laid-off employees as well as the general public efforts here.
Local sentiment is that we all want to step up, just as we did with Hurricane Harvey.
