Small But Mighty: Support Local
Local businesses lift us up. They’re resilient, creative and committed to making our days a little brighter, even when things get tough. This month, let’s return the favor.
Support the shops and restaurants that help bring our community to life and make this place one-of-a-kind. Showing your favorite local business some love is so easy. Here are some ways you can help:
- Shop in store.
- Order curbside pick-up.
- Ship to someone special.
- Buy a gift card for now or later.
- Spread the word through likes, shares and reviews on social!
Not sure who’s who? Just look for a #smallbutmighty sticker on the window, or see the list below for some small biz inspo.
