BUY LOCAL!!! // $1000 giveaway from Yakima area businesses

We are SO excited to announce this week's giveaway, featuring 12 amazing Yakima area businesses! We are just blown away by the generosity of those who contributed. It just goes to show how awesome these local businesses are! Having been born and raised in Yakima, we have a love for the community and the desire to see small businesses succeed. I'm going to quote my friend Nicole who posted about this topic last month and stated it quite well. "In hard economic times, it seems even more important to me to buy local. When you invest your money back into your local economy, you bolster it. When local businesses prosper, it makes your area look attractive to other businesses, bringing jobs and money into the community. I'm not saying go on a spending spree, but if you have an item you want to buy and you have the choice between a locally-owned store and a cheaper version somewhere else, I hope you will seriously consider all the benefits paying that extra few dollars will bring to your community."

Please join me in supporting these local businesses!
