Shop Local this Holiday Season
As the holiday shopping season descends on us all, we encourage you to stop
and think local. How could you purchase 50%, 75% or even 100% of your gifts
from local stores? Throughout our community you can find all the items on your
holiday gift lists. Buying locally sustains the unique character and quality of
life of your community. Beyond the economic impact of your spending, buying
locally supports the businesses that reinvest in your community's social and
environmental well-being. Local businesses give generously to area churches and
non-profits and sponsor events that enhance the quality of life in our community.
Did you know that statistically, nonprofit organizations receive an average of 250%
more support from small business owners than from larger businesses?
Dollars spent at a local business are also reinvested in our community's
employees through wages and reinvested in other organizations through
the purchase of professional services and other business services. And by
purchasing from local businesses, you travel fewer miles, saving you time, gas
money, and carbon emissions.
Our one-of-a-kind local businesses are an integral part of our distinctive regional
character. A local economy of diverse, unique businesses also attracts today's
skilled workers and investors who can choose to settle and grow businesses
anywhere.
So don't forget this holiday season to take a few minutes and look at your gift list
to see where you can purchase it locally. Also remember that you can do this year
round not just during the holiday season.
To see a directory of unique businesses in our community
we encourage you to visit our website at
