Whereas,

small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, creating jobs, fostering innovation, and enriching the unique character of our community; and

Whereas,

small businesses contribute significantly to the quality of life for all residents and strengthen the social and economic fabric of Upper Darby Township; and

Whereas,

Upper Darby Township is committed to supporting local businesses and recognizing their vital role in sustaining a thriving and vibrant community; and

Whereas,

Small Business Saturday, held on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, encourages people across the country to support local businesses by shopping small and making a positive impact on their communities; and

shopping locally ensures that more of every dollar spent stays within the community, helping to fund public services, schools, and infrastructure;

Now, Therefore,

I, Ed Brown, Mayor, do hereby proclaim Saturday, November 30, 2024 as Small Business Saturday in Upper Darby Township, and I urge all residents to join me in supporting our local businesses by shopping small and recognizing their invaluable contributions to our community.
