Think Locally, Buy Locally, Grow Locally

Support small businesses like Artesania, a small store located in Melrose, MA that sells Latin American crafts. Leonardo, the owner of Artesania who is seen in this photo, solicited a loan from ACCION USA to build inventory and also build business credit.

Benefits of Buying Locally:

• You help to build a stronger and more economically- viable community by supporting local businesses. Not only do you reinvest in your community, but you support local business owners and locals employed by them as well.
• These small, unique businesses add flare to the local community. Say 'goodbye' to large, impersonal chains and 'hello' to friendly, distinctive locals.
• Once you support one local business, you indirectly support more. Oftentimes, inventory and equipment is purchased from local suppliers, leading to an indirect impact of increased sales at other local businesses.
