Family-owned Professional Print & Mail in downtown Fresno is making banners free of charge to local businesses in need of help getting the word out about takeout, delivery, and curbside services.

“The restaurant business is one of the hardest-hit businesses in our community.” — Doug Carlile, owner of Professional Print & Mail

The signs normally sell for between $150 and $200.
