Every time you pick up a cup of coffee from your local cafe or buy goods from a local artist's online store, you are supporting the local economy and circulating your dollars within the community. You are making a difference. In the 2020 American Express Small Business Recovery Research Poll, 62% of U.S. small businesses reported that they need to see consumer spending return to pre-COVID levels by the end of 2020 in order to stay in business. Your support of local businesses during the holidays and through the year makes a significant impact.
