Mom and pop stores should be our first choice, wherever and whenever possible.

Small businesses in your area and online rely on customers to feed their families and pay their bills. Who must we help during challenging times? Each other!

This involves more of a lifestyle change than simply shopping at stores that still support all of us. This is daily and intentional decision to spend your money with small, local businesses where possible.


This involves spending more time in our communities, shopping from our neighbors, looking out for each other where possible to ensure that we spend our money for goods and services there first and foremost.

Shop at farmer's markets for fresh fruits and vegetables and various other products like cheese, meats, and fresh home baked goods.

If you are looking for particular items, and you cannot find it in your community, try buying online from the company directly, Etsy, or e-bay.
