Local Proud is all about promoting and supporting locally-owned, independent businesses. It’s about making your hard-earned money go further, fueling the local economy, and helping to preserve the unique character of where you live.

The Perks Card

Local Proud strengthens ties between businesses and the community through a discount card program that encourages consumers to buy local. The free Perks card gives patrons an exclusive offer when presented at participating local businesses. The Perks card can be picked up and redeemed at any of the Local Proud businesses. There are no points to collect or keeping track of your spending - just instant offers. And did we mention it was free?

Grass Roots Movement

Local Proud promotes awareness of the benefits of buying local. In addition to getting a great offer, buying from locally owned businesses keeps more money circulating close to home. When dollars are spent locally instead of at corporate chains, up to three times more money stays in the local economy. That equates to more good jobs, better service and more investment in the community. Local business owners live in their communities and are more likely to buy, invest and be more charitable within the area. Non-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from small business owners.

Go Green

With no coupons to print you’ll be joining the go green movement without even trying. That saves on ink, paper and time for starters. Consumers recycle the card continuously by using it again and again at Local Proud businesses. When the Perks card is finally worn from all the savings at so many Local Proud establishments just toss it in the recycle bin. Then go get a new card and start all over again.

Local Proud is about being proud of where you live. Whether you've lived here all your life or new to the community, you're a local.  Be Local Proud!
