Question:

What are we here to do?

(A)Reinvest into our Local Economy – Contributing locally

Your commitment matters.

Why Local? By looking LOCAL FIRST, you will significantly boost our communties economy.

This is because the bulk of the money we spend at local businesses goes directly back into our own local economy, continually recycling.

With it bringing about a massive shift from our current reality of “fear and uncertainty” to EXCITEMENT & INNOVATION.

“You can make a DRAMATIC difference in your community.

Research shows that if you shift a portion of your spending, from national chains and the internet to independent locally-owned and operated businesses you invest into your economy when you support local businesses.“
