Our work is supported by these local leaders:

 

 

 

 

Seacoast Local is devoted to educating the Seacoast about the community benefits of directing more of our money locally, in order to increase our region’s economic, community and environmental strength. Our role is to be the forum where locally owned, independent businesses come together to lead this transformation, within their own business and in partnership with our community.

Join Us This Month

Seacoast Local encourages residents to take job creation and economic concerns into their own hands by exercising their power to strengthen their own local economies.  This is an effective strategy all year-round, but especially important at the holidays.

Plaid Friday on Nov. 25. Most people have heard of Black Friday, but have you heard of Plaid Friday? We invite you to show off your local colors this season with the colorful alternative to visiting the big box stores. Our members will be getting into the spirit and invite you to wear plaid in proud and visible celebration of our unique community character. Spend time locally with your family or friends and find unique gifts, better customer service, and a personal touch this holiday!  

 

Holiday Shift Your Shopping Campaign. Joining in a campaign with 38,000 other businesses across North America, we're encouraging everyone to spend their hard earned holiday dollars at locally-owned independent businesses, and keep more money in the local economy. We're supporting a more vibrant community, a stronger economy, and a healthier environment. Visit http://shiftyourshopping.org to meet-up with like-minded businesses and community members.

(H)EAT. We're ramping up for another successful (H)EAT (pronounced 'heat eat') program again this year.   Seacoast Local businesses and friends are aiming to raise $30,000 to buy 10,000 gallons of fuel and 10,000 meals for those who need it this winter.  Join in with many of our business members in several unique fundraising events.
