Because local shoppers abandon them. Those shoppers quickly forget that local stores have been here for them during the tough times. Once they can afford to travel down Island again, they forget that kids programs are affordable because local business owners contribute to them. They forget that the Gazette Hamper Fund, Harvest Food Bank and school breakfast programs rely on local grocers. Those shoppers forget that many local business owners are valuable members of the community that volunteer their time and services to strengthen the community. Local business supports the whole community, all the time, and especially when times are tough.
