5 Totally Free Things You Can Do to Support Your Local Economy
Supporting your local community is a positive thing—it builds relationships, it strengthens the local economy, and it makes your neighborhood a happier and healthier place to work and play.

Money you spend in your community is recirculated in the local economy instead of being extracted from it.

Supplementing your grocery shopping list with fresh farmers’ market finds, choosing independent cafés and restaurants over national chains, and purchasing art and gifts from local vendors are all simple ways to support your local economy.
