Buy Local Month
Buy Local Month (November 22 – December 22) encourages all to buy local and keep holiday dollars flowing within our community. We know that we must invest in what we value, or else risk losing it!
This annual campaign is a grassroots movement of education and relationship building that promotes the many economic and societal benefits of supporting local businesses. During Buy Local Month, Sustain-a-bull works to showcase the great work local businesses are doing for their community and to steer consumers to these businesses at the height of the holiday shopping season. This includes Shop Independent Durham Week, which kicks off on Small Business Saturday, November 30th and runs through Sunday, December 8th.
The sense of place that we have in Durham – all that makes this place unique – is largely thanks to our local retail businesses. Local shops, both service-and product-based, are what build our culture. It’s the places where you can fix a shoe, find the perfect dress, buy a coffee or a new book, and connect with neighbors.
