#CHSHOPSLOCAL
The financial impact of the pandemic has left its devastating mark on small businesses everywhere, with countless people seeing their life’s work decimated by lingering lockdowns.
That impact has been profoundly greater in New York’s 5 boroughs, where small businesses deemed non-essential by Governor Andrew Cuomo were gasping for breath after being closed for months last spring, only to find themselves at risk of a looming second shutdown. Enter the CH Shop Local initiative launched by CHYE and COLlive as a grassroots movement to support local businesses in Crown Heights area.
“Our store owners need our help,” COLlive Publisher Mica Soffer said. “They are men and women of all ages, from all backgrounds, with different life circumstances, but despite their diversity, their stories are the same – they are honest, hard working people, who have invested blood, sweat and tears to build businesses that would provide for their families.
“But to be perfectly honest, many aren’t sure that they are going to be able to make it, and I can tell you one thing, they can’t do it alone,” Soffer said. “So we are asking shoppers to remember their local businesses as the Chanukah buying season gets underway.”
“It is essential to their survival. We cannot emphasize the importance of shopping locally in order to help stores stay afloat,” says Rabbi Yehoshua Werde, Director of CHYE.
“We are all in survival mode,” said one store owner. “They want to pay their bills and we are asking people to please support local businesses. Go buy that measuring cup in a local store or pick up that pair of socks or kippa your son needs – even small purchases make a difference and especially now with Chanukah coming up and people buying clothing, gifts and other items, we really need our people, and then some, to support us.”
Rabbi Werde of CHYE points out the powerful effect shopping local has on our community:
1. More of your money will be kept in your local economy
For every $100 you spend at locally owned businesses, $68 will stay in the community. What happens when you spend that same $100 at a national chain? Only $43 stays in the community.*
2. You embrace what makes your community unique
You wouldn’t want your house to look like everyone else’s in the U.S. So why would you want your community to look that way?
3. You create local jobs
Local businesses are better at creating higher-paying jobs for your neighbors. When you shop locally, you help create jobs for teachers, firemen, police officers, and many other essential professions.
4. You nurture community
Local business owners know you, and you know them. Studies have shown that local businesses donate to community causes at more than twice the rate of chains.
5. You create more choice
Locally owned businesses pick the items and products they sell based on what they know you like and want. Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because they buy for their own individual markets.
With all the benefits of shopping locally pick your wallet and get out and shop today!

Beautiful Achdus!!
Moshiach Now!!
What a great store. I love the wonderful service and friendly staff.
The woman clothing stores have sales every few months. Some stores never gave sales, like the glasses store which can be pricy. I think all stores should have sales more often which helps us who shop local.
ARE THE BEST DOUGHNUTS YOU”LL EVER EAT
Thank you to those who are working on this; yes lets support our own.
Freilichen Chanuka
