At Hamilton Beach Commercial®, the safety and well-being of our employees and community is our top priority. Like many, we are monitoring and making important adjustments throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. 
In order to support our partners and colleagues in the Foodservice and Hospitality industries who are struggling right now, we have compiled a list of links and resources for weathering the storm.
We will continue to update these resources with new information as it comes in, and we encourage you to send them our way for us to add. This list is not complete or exhaustive by any means!
And during the coming weeks, we'll continue to share recipes and other articles on our blog and social channels in addition to this important information.
Read on. If you see content you like, be sure to join the HBC Community for regular updates.
