Buy Local to nurture the community
Studies show that community-focused businesses generally are more supportive of
charitable organizations, and that locally-owned businesses contribute more than twice as
much of their revenue to charitable causes in their own hometown as corporate chains.
The responsible nationwide stores that are located in our community also dig deep in
support of local causes. Many have corporate giving programs that are aimed at the
communities in which they operate, providing a tangible connection to the needs of their
local customers.
Business-related contributions help keep the lights on at many nonprofit and community
service organizations, providing vital services to meet the needs of local residents. Whether
it’s supporting the food bank, sponsoring a Little League team, donating to domestic
violence awareness campaigns, or raising funds for a local arts organization, business
leaders contribute to the quality of life within our communities.
