Dear Local First Partner,

As I sat down to write this letter and began listing all of the ways Local First Utah is working to promote local businesses to consumers, educating the public and government about the importance and richness local businesses bring to our community, I realized that I just didn’t want to send you the typical end of year appeal letter.

You can read our website, attend our events, serve as a volunteer and get involved to learn all of the ways we are working for our partners. You can read the articles about dollars being recirculated in our state when you patronize a local business. You can make those choices at work and at home.

What you may not know, is that we do all of this work with a meager budget and a slim staff. We work hard and because we do not require membership dues from our over 3,000 registered partners I am asking for your support so that we can continue our work. DONATE NOW.

Thank you to each of you for supporting us. I wish you the best in the New Year.

Sincerely,

Michelle Thompson
Executive Director
Local First Utah
