Did You Know… When you Shop Local, something Special happens…

When you shop at a participating Locals Care merchant, you of course know that part of your transaction is donated by the merchant to the nonprofit you have selected. But did you also know, that every time you visit a merchant in the Locals Care network, you are increasing tax receipts? You are making sure your dollars recirculate longer within our economy, generating more money for parks, police and fire support, and the Santa Fe River. In fact, a recent study by Dr. David Blond, Principal at Query International and former Chief Economist at the Pentagon during the Carter and Reagan administrations, demonstrated that Locals Care has generated an estimated additional $500,000 in tax revenue for the City of Santa Fe! WOW! What a difference shopping local can make!

  • Look for the Locals Care logo
  • Support locally owned businesses
  • Support your nonprofit

This is your program. You have chosen the nonprofit to support. You have chosen where to spend your money.

From all of us at Locals Care,

Thank you… for doing something special.

William, Carrie, Colt & Andy
