Helping Your Community Through Phase One

As Delaware begins to open for phase one, residents are eager to get out and feel like they are part of the community again. An important part of Delaware’s community has always been based around locals supporting locals. As we head into the reopening stages of the state, buying local is more necessary than ever to keep the community thriving. It creates jobs, keeps money in the community, and supplies other local businesses. Not only does buying local help the economy, but you are also guaranteed the freshest products available.
