Seeing a need to support small businesses affected by the pandemic, Choose Local and Small Y'all launched a grass roots effort to help them survive. Coronavirus has crippled the economy since mid-March. We introduced many different initiatives in the past year!
The Choose Local Cash Mob Campaign is one example. It is alike a flash mob but instead of breaking out in dance, you break out your wallet. Each Wednesday we "mob" a different business in our partnership who needs a little extra help. The community is encouraged to join us in spending at least $20 there and in return they get entered into a raffle drawing for a prize basket from one of our sponsors.

Our partners focus on making the maximum positive effect in our community. Our members provide the momentum that helps us affect real change in Garner and Wake County.
Our first ever charity event was the Kindness Campaign. 20 of our partners collected new socks and underwear for a charity that serves all of Wake County, Note in the Pocket. Their mission is to clothe children with dignity and respect. Who would not want to be a part of that?
Our Fall charity campaign was called "We Choose Hope." As a group we raised $25,000 for Community of Hope Ministries and their remote learning program. We also had 30 partners host a food drive in order to help pack their food pantry for families in need. We are so proud of our partners desire to giveback and to the community for their support.
Our January campaign was called "We Choose To Include." We hosted an inclusion 5K benefiting Special Olympics NC and Able to Serve. Over $4,500 was raised with your amazing participation!
Our We Chose to Fight Campaign culminated with a charity golf tournament May 19th that raised $11,579 for Relay for Life of the Triangle and Meg's Smile Foundation!
Through our social media accounts we share non-profit events and information on ways to giveback. We believe that if you present the community with opportunities they always show up and help!
