Why support Love What’s Local?
- When you shop locally, your money and taxes stay local – supporting schools, police and fire departments, and much more.
- Creates more jobs and encourages more business in our community.
- Where we shop, where we eat and have fun – all of it makes our community home, vibrant and a place everyone wants to be.
