Diana Doukas, Policy Programs Manager at Facebook said in an interview, "our focus has been to help small businesses recover from disruptions they've faced during Covid-19. Through this program, we want to equip businesses across the U.S. with the digital skills they need to compete in the new economy.  Personalized ads have never been more important than they are right now," she adds.

"We try to tell the story of this community, and our businesses here," says Ballard.  "These are platforms available to businesses that they can use that are really inexpensive and very effective, and especially during this economic time, that's what businesses are looking for, things that have a positive impact that they can do quickly."
