Today is National Mom and Pop Business Owners Day!
There are more than 27 million small businesses in the country, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.
These mom and pop shops are a crucial part of the U.S. economy.
Many small businesses are fighting to stay open during the coronavirus crisis.
The Small Business Administration says one way to help is buying gift cards online to use later.
You can also share your favorite small business on your social media pages to help improve their following.
