Many people have asked, “How can I help Ely if I can’t visit right now?

One of the best ways is to **buy a gift card, order online, or purchase merchandise** from our local businesses. Every purchase helps support local families and employees while our community recovers.

Support Local Businesses

One of the best ways to help is to support Wilderness edge communities from wherever you are. Purchasing a gift card, ordering online, or booking a future visit provides immediate support for local business owners, employees, and their families.

Ways to Help

• Buy gift cards to use later.

• Book a future stay, guided trip, or canoe adventure.

• If you’re able, consider keeping existing reservations instead of requesting refunds.

• Share your favorite Ely businesses on social media.

• Give a 5-star review of your favorite local businesses on whichever sites you use (Facebook, Google, Trip Advisor, and so on).

• Come to the area to engage in commerce and participate in community events, or plan to visit when conditions meet your needs.

• Shop online from Ely businesses.

• Note that downtown businesses and local service providers remain OPEN. Help us combat the misconception that Ely is shut down. We remain committed to our culture of gathering.
