FORGET THE MALLS-SHOP THE FALLS!

If you or any member of your family has ever belonged to a local club or church, a school or community athletic team, musical or performing arts group, a civic organization, or any fund-raising entity, you are probably among the hundreds of individuals who request donations from Olmsted Falls business owners every year. Our local businesses receive requests for monetary donations, food, gift certificates, ad placement, and other products weekly. And they’ve proven to be very generous when it comes to supporting their community.

*A recent study showed that neighborhood businesses generously support local nonprofits an average of 350% more than non-locally owned businesses.

Olmsted Falls is home to approximately 90 businesses, many of which are sole proprietors. These hard working individuals have chosen to make their living in our city, and in many cases, raise their families here, too. They count on your patronage to keep their businesses and, in turn, our city, strong and vital.

Before you look for goods or services outside of Olmsted Falls, look local to see if your needs can be met here. Chances are, they can!

Let’s support those who support us!
