This campaign is designed to raise awareness YEAR ROUND of the importance in keeping dollars local and how it affects public services, local businesses, jobs and community activities.
The past few years have changed the way people shop and think about shopping, with many of us now being more conscious about the decisions we make on spending and travel. In today's society, how we approach shopping is ever-changing, but the benefits of shopping local remain the same:

2. Build Community
The casual encounters you enjoy at local businesses and the public spaces around them nurture relationships, community cohesiveness, and smiles. They are the ultimate social networking sites.
3. More Jobs & Opportunity
Not only do local businesses employ more people per dollar of revenue, they use local printers, accountants, media, attorneys, artists, and others, expanding opportunities for local entrepreneurs.

Non-profit organizations receive an average of 250% more support from local businesses.
