Local businesses do so much for each of us.
Not only do they give us the products we love or the food we enjoy, they also give us jobs, either directly on their payroll or through the money they flow into our economy and to other job creators.
They boost our quality of life and create the identity that makes our community unique.
But they can only do all of those things for us if we support them.
Throughout the pandemic, we’ve repeatedly urged you to shop local and eat local to make sure our small businesses can thrive.
