BERRIEN COUNTY, Mich. A challenge that is circulating social media asking community members to buy locally has reached the Berrien County Commissioners’ office.
At the December 10 meeting, Berrien County Commissioner Teri Freehling challenged her fellow commissioners to support local businesses by participating in the “Buy Local Berrien Challenge.”
The challenge was recently announced by the Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber.
To participate, community members are asked to get take-out or purchase a gift card from a favorite small business currently impacted by COVID-19 restrictions.
Then, community members are asked to post a photo of the take-out or purchase on their social media pages and in the Buy Local Berrien! Facebook group.
