Supporting local businesses in the wake of COVID-19 will help your community get back on its feet. Whether you shop at local boutiques or get takeout from family restaurants, helping businesses in your area stay afloat also offers the following benefits.

4 Reasons to Support Family Restaurants & Other Local Businesses

1. Employ Members of the Community

When community businesses thrive, they provide more steady jobs to people in the area. From family restaurant servers, bartenders, and cooks to boutique managers and retail clerks, local businesses help area residents stay employed, so they can continue living in the community.

Big box stores tend to fill shelves with generic items. Locally owned businesses, on the other hand, often provide a unique range of products, including those crafted by local artisans and artists. Shopping local allows you to purchase items you won’t find anywhere else, letting you create original clothing ensembles and home decor displays. You also get to enjoy food made from scratch at nearby family restaurants.

3. Contribute to a Healthier Planet

Area businesses that buy local inventory reduce the energy needed for mass factory productions. Such businesses also contribute to healthier air by not requiring deliveries from trucks driving long distances. Residents can walk to many local stores and restaurants instead of driving to reduce air pollution as well.

4. Provide for the Community

Community businesses help each other. They bank locally and rely on other businesses for inventory and supplies. Local businesses often donate to schools and universities, such as adding their wares to silent auction events or supplying money for sports team jerseys. All of these actions help communities grow.
