Every time you shop small, you make a big difference. Local businesses are the heartbeat of our community. They sponsor youth sports, donate to fundraisers, and greet customers by name. This holiday season, consider how your dollars can help them thrive.

When you spend $100 at a local business, roughly $68 stays in your community, compared to only $43 when shopping at a national chain. That local impact supports jobs, schools, and services that benefit everyone.

Supporting small businesses doesn’t always mean spending more. Grab coffee at a local café instead of a big chain, buy unique gifts from a local boutique, or hire a local service provider for home projects. Even sharing their social media posts or leaving a positive review can help them reach new customers.

As you shop this Small Business Saturday (Nov. 29) and throughout the season, use your FNB debit or credit card to support local merchants. It’s an easy way to give back and feel good doing it.

Together, we can keep our community strong, connected, and thriving for generations to come.
