In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, local small businesses in Western North Carolina need your support more than ever. Small businesses are the backbone of our community and our local economy. Many across the region were deeply affected by the storm, while hundreds of others in the Asheville area have been forced to close for weeks while waiting for utility services to come back online.
No one denies that scrolling through your phone during leisure time is an easier way to do your shopping. But for every dollar you spend at big box stores or online conglomerates in the coming months, we challenge you to spend the same amount at locally owned and operated small businesses. And best of all—you can do it “from afar”!
As research shows, money spent locally is money that’s more likely to stay in your community—supporting local business owners, local staff, local artists, local farmers, local services, and local nonprofits in the area. Feel great supporting local businesses right now and in the coming weeks while crossing unique gift items off your holiday shopping lists.
