Buy Local
The recent strides in the battle against Covid make it a good time to reflect on the choices we make as consumers. Over the last two years, many of us got used to buying goods and services at the touch of a button from large corporate businesses. But so much is lost when the pendulum swings too far in their favor.
You can make a difference by shopping local.
Shopping locally means:
More of your money stays to support the community. More of your tax dollars stay in Glenview and you support local employment.
Local businesses provide expertise, personal service, and a type of accountability that comes from ownership on site or nearby.
Local businesses finance and support the social service agencies, charitable causes and service clubs that under pin our society. Local businesses are where the youth teams go for sponsorship. Local businesses populate the service clubs such as Rotary, Lions, and Kiwanis.
Local businesses make our town unique. Glenview residents still talk about Renneker’s Pharmacy and Clippers much the same way today’s youth will remember meeting at the Glenview Grind.
Local businesses need your support and your choices make a difference! Now that Covid restrictions are ending, please look for opportunities to utilize the services and goods offered locally. The benefits to our community are priceless.
