SPEND LOCALLY – American Independent Business Alliance studies reflect a proven 48% return to the community when you spend locally. You’ll also enjoy a higher quality product in most cases when supporting your local small businesses

EAT LOCALLY -- Don’t underestimate the amount of dollars spent on food, beverages, and restaurant visits during the holidays. Those dollars can be viewed as an investment in your community! Explore local butchers, shop your farmer’s market, check for signs in larger grocery stores that carry certain sections of items from local growers, support small wine and liquor stores, and frequent independent restaurants. An impressive 65.4% returns to the community when you eat at a local restaurant versus a chain.
