Over one-fifth of Americans are directly employed in retail and hospitality, including stores, bars and restaurants, tourism, and entertainment. That’s more than 32 million people working in an industry that’s currently being shaped by widespread closures and layoffs. Our small businesses need us now more than ever. Remember when they sponsored your child’s recreation team? Remember that time when they bought BBQ burgers for the whole office from your junior high student raising money to get to Washington D.C.? Remember when they bought an advertisement in the high school football program or offered discounts for your organization?
It is now YOUR time to give back. Support the businesses you love today, so they are here tomorrow. As the Acadia Parish Chamber, we have a vision for a sustainable and resilient economy within our parish and region. Studies have shown one of the most direct ways to achieve this vision is to support your local businesses. For every $100 spent at a local business, $43 remain in your local economy. These extra dollars generated from shopping local, are an investment in local job creation and preserving your prosperous community.
