Shop Local
What is it?
The practice of supporting local and small businesses by purchasing goods and services within the community. This helps strengthen the local economy by keeping money circulating within the area, creates jobs, and supports small businesses. Shopping local also reduces the environmental impact of transportation and fosters a sense of community by promoting unique products and services that reflect the region’s culture.
