Grand Rapids Chamber issued the following announcement on Nov. 24.
The City of Grand Rapids and a host of community partners have started what they hope becomes a viral campaign to support local businesses during the holiday shopping season. The campaign includes self-recorded videos that showcase local businesses and a challenge to multiple friends to do the same.
In her own self-recorded video this past weekend, Mayor Rosalynn Bliss highlights a recent purchase from Mosby’s Popcorn and challenges three friends to support local during the holidays.
“This has been a difficult year for all of us, including our local businesses,” says Mayor Bliss. “As we enter the holiday season and start buying gifts for those we care about, I invite you to join me in supporting our Grand Rapids businesses. They have always been here for us, and now we can step up to be there for them.”
