On March 1, 2022, the Monadnock Food Co-op will launch a month-long Round It Up Donation Drive to help expand Shop Indie Local into a year-round movement in the Monadnock Region.

Shop Indie Local celebrates locally owned businesses and works to increase spending at and investment in these businesses through community events like Plaid Friday and Cider Monday. Supporting independent businesses is the key to building stronger local, equitable, and inclusive economies.

“The Monadnock Region continues to serve as a model for how communities can implement a strong Shop Indie Local holiday campaign,” said Michael Faber, Monadnock Food Co-op General Manager. “We’re excited to see this movement expand to include campaigns to boost local investing and eating more locally grown and raised foods.”
