Celebrate Small Business Season in Southern Oregon

This holiday season let’s make every gift count by supporting the local businesses that keep Jackson and Josephine counties thriving.

“Every dollar spent locally strengthens our community and keeps our downtowns vibrant.”

The holiday season, as we shop for gifts and plan festive outings, let’s remember the heartbeat of our local economy: Small businesses and downtown merchants.

In Jackson and Josephine counties, these businesses aren’t just storefronts; they’re neighbors, friends, and families who invest in our communities year-round. Every purchase you make locally, whether it’s a handcrafted gift, a cozy sweater from a boutique, or a warm drink at your favorite café, helps sustain jobs, supports local families, and keeps our downtowns vibrant.

Shopping local isn’t just about convenience; it’s about impact. For every dollar spent at a local business, more stays in our community compared to big-box or online retailers. That means stronger schools, better services, and thriving neighborhoods. Plus, local merchants often offer unique products and personalized service you won’t find anywhere else.

This holiday season let’s make a conscious choice to support the businesses that make Southern Oregon special. Stroll through historic downtowns, discover hidden gems, and share the joy of giving locally. Your support ensures these businesses continue to thrive, not just during the holidays, but all year long.
