Support the economy
When you shop local your money stays in our communities and helps build a stronger local economy. Shopping local creates jobs here at home, and makes our businesses stronger so they can give back to our communities.
Good for the environment
Shopping locally reduces carbon emissions by limiting the amount of transportation needed to deliver goods and services - especially when you're buying locally made products or food! Plus you get the satisfaction of knowing where your products and food are coming from.
Businesses have adapted
COVID-19 has created tremendous challenges for many small businesses, but they are resilient. Businesses have invested in their storefronts to ensure they are safe for customers. Many have even added online stores or curb-side pick up options to make your shopping experience even safer.
