Buy Local
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
In an effort to increase awareness of the importance of supporting our local economy, the Chamber has re-launched its “Buy Local” campaign. This is a regional effort designed to encourage residents and businesspeople to spend dollars here when possible-this means personal spending as well as business purchasing.
If people can shift as much of their spending as possible to an area company, then those dollars can save a job or keep a local company open. It’s a critical time right now-and every single penny that stays in our community makes a difference.
USE THE CHAMBER TO BUY LOCAL
The Chamber’s new
Buy Local Desk is a free service open to any company seeking suppliers or vendors in the Triad. For more information or to submit an RFP to our member businesses, please
