Shop Local
You may be aware that Saturday, November 26th is nationally recognized as Small
Business Saturday.
We think this is important.
However, we like to think of every day as an opportunity to support local
businesses. Luckily, so many of you share our sentiments.
Often referred to as the Shop Local or Buy Local movement, there are widespread
and undeniable benefits in a shared commitment to support our local merchants. We see
this trend gaining considerable momentum in the communities we’re so privileged to
serve.
This movement is more about what’s good for a community and its residents, and
less about global retailers extracting money from our towns.
As your community bank, we’ve
proudly taken the lead on supporting our
local merchants and organizations.
We believe that buying local means
banking local. A bank like ours ensures
your deposits will be reinvested directly
into this community.
It may be interesting to know that
more people have made the switch to
Needham Bank in 2016 than in any prior
year throughout our long history. For
that, we are most grateful.
Your decision to bank locally
enables us to increase our capital, which
not only allows us to lend more locally,
but also helps fund more of the local
initiatives that we all care about.
As our business continues to grow,
we will continue to expand what we give
back to the community. In just this year
alone we will support over 300 different
community organizations.
This November and throughout the
holiday season, remember that shopping
local has a profoundly positive impact on
our community and the local economy.
