Did you know that when you spend $1 locally, up to $3.5 recirculates in the economy?

It's true! It's known as the "multiplier effect." When you spend money at a local merchant, that local merchant spends money on local labor, taxes, supplies, services and more, so more of the money you spend remains in the community. One study found that supporting local businesses leads to more local charitable giving and more walkable neighborhoods. So shop local and support your community at the same time!
