“Love Our Locals” Campaign Returns

“Love Our Locals” Campaign Returns

SARATOGA – In a show of support to local business owners and non-profit organizations throughout Saratoga County, the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce is kick-starting their “Love Our Locals” campaign for another year. What started as an effort during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown in 2020, the campaign (then called “Save Our Locals”) was a community driven initiative to shop local, dine local and hire local in order to support the many small businesses, artisan shops and local contractors that embody Saratoga’s business culture. 

This year, with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic ostensibly waning, the campaign is back for another year. Only this time, it is called “Love Our Locals.” The idea is simple, patrons who spend or donate $20.22 or more to participating vendors, non-profits or service providers and share their receipt with the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce via email (This email address is being protected from spambots.

 The event begins on October 21 and runs throughout the remainder of the year, ending December 31.Winners will be selected weekly and will be announced across the Chamber's social media channels. Winners will also be notified separately via email as to how to claim their gift card. Saratoga County businesses and non-profit organizations are encouraged to hang up a “Love Our Locals $20.22” poster in a prominent spot to remind customers, clients, and employees about how they can support the Saratoga community.
