As you shop for holiday gifts, consider choosing to #shoplocal for some of your gifts. Buying local has a big impact on our neighborhoods and communities:
- More tax revenue, for community services like education, road repair, and more, stays in our communities when you shop local
- Local nonprofits receive 250% more support from local businesses than from large businesses
- More local purchases means less transportation/shipping transit, which is more environmentally friendly
- Shopping local supports local, quality jobs for our neighbors and friends
Deciding to buy local for one type of item (like books from your local bookstore) can have a tremendous impact on our communities with minimal impact on your budget. We’ve put together a guide of our clients to help you as you decide where to find your holiday gifts and who should cater your holiday parties.
