Help our Local Businesses!

SHOP SMALL® EVERY  DAY

We encourage everyone in the Orange Township area to support your local small businesses by purchasing EVERY SEASON!  Because of the pandemic and economy (now getting worse), many small businesses can barely survived. Here's your chance to say THANK YOU to those local mom and pop shops that have supported your local schools, clubs,  churches, and other local events by visiting their stores and restaurants and make a purchase or buy a gift card.  Orange Celebration offers a free comprehensive directory of local business and restaurants.  Scoll below, and thank your for caring!

HELP OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES!
Shopping Local Can Make a Big Difference All Year Around

Celebrate local businesses in our community!  Show your love for local businesses!  With over 2,000 businesses in our area, shop to support your community.   For every $100 you spend at locally owned businesses, $68 stays in the community.  The same $100 at a national chain, only $43 stays in the community.  Many of these small businesses are the one's who donate to clubs and organizations.  Please give back!  

Big-box retailers and large online stores are hurting small businesses!  Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, Wayfair, Amazon, plus many other BIG businesses are devastating smaller businesses to the point where many may not recover which directly affects our local community.  Do they care? NO! They don't want the competition. Now it is more imperative to visit or order online from local SMALL businesses!
