Why it matters locally

American Express reports an estimated $18 billion spent at small businesses on Small Business Saturday in 2025, and more than $241 billion since 2010. Roughly 68 cents of every dollar spent at a local business stays in the community. ABC applies that same intent every week of the year: a resident asks, a Chamber member answers, and the work stays on Main Street.

Membership opportunities

31 resident requests found no participating Chamber member — mostly event photography, mobile auto repair and weekend water-heater work. Each is a documented, dollar-valued reason for a local business to join.
