SHOP LOCAL PLEDGE
It has always been important to buy local,
but that has taken on a whole new meaning and importance this year.
​
National predictions are that huge percentages of small, locally-owned retailers and restaurants will close this year due to the challenges of the pandemic. However, we have the power to control that outcome in our community by taking this pledge and giving that little extra effort to BUY LOCAL!
Take the SHOP LOCAL PLEDGE, by entering your name and email below, and commit to:​​
​
-
At least 75% of your holiday season spending at locally owned businesses;
-
Seeking a local alternative before ordering online or buying at a national chain;
