Supply chain stress? Shop local! 🎁
The holidays are just around the corner! And you've probably heard the horror stories about Amazon deliveries taking months to arrive due to disruptions with the global supply chain.
Well, I've got great news for you: pretty much anything you're looking for on Amazon can be found at a locally owned small business right here in our community. Check out these amazing neighborhood small business guides for inspiration:
As we head into Thanksgiving, I'm reflecting as always on gratitude. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to represent this amazing community, and for the amazing local businesses that give our communities their character and life. Let's show that gratitude by skipping Amazon and Walmart this holiday season and shopping local.
