CQ and Amesbury join grass-roots “Local First” and “10% Shift” movements to save local economies
Posted June 11th, 2009 by
Crafters Quarters is very proud to be a Founding Member of the Amesbury First and 10% Shift initiatives to help revitalize local economies around New England and throughout the US. We highly encourage you to click on the links to learn more about how to help bring back Main Street USA.
You don’t have to spend more money to help your town and local economy… If we all shifted at least 10% of what we already spend to locally-owned independent businesses, most of those dollars will stay in the local community. Shop in local stores wherever you happen to be, and you will single-handedly help turn around our towns and our economy!
