STRENGTH IN NUMBERS NETW ORK INCL UDES 425- PLUS MER CHAN TS

TEAM GO LOCAL: From left, Michele Bryan, Caroline Christopolous, Franzi Charen and Emma Hutchens lead the way in advocating for a strong, independent and locally owned business community in Asheville and Buncombe County. Photo by Cindy Kunst

BY THOMAS CALDER When the first Go Local Card was issued in December 2012, it offered cardholders discounts and freebies to 120 locally owned businesses. Today that number has more than tripled, with more than 425 shops, restaurants, breweries and services signed on thus far.

Greater participation and visibility are key priorities for the 2019 Go Local Card campaign.

For card manager Michele Bryan, the goal for 2019 is 600 total participating businesses. The reason is simple: There is strength in numbers. “The more businesses we have on the card, the more appealing it is to the public,” she explains. And a broader appeal, she believes, will increase Go Local card sales, resulting in a high-

12

er total amount earned for Asheville City Schools, which receives 50 percent of those sales. (The rest goes to Asheville Grown’s operational costs.)

There is no fee for business owners to sign up, says Franzi Charen, founder of Asheville Grown Business Alliance, which produces the card each year. The only requirement is that locally owned, independent shops honor the card with hand-selected special offers.

In addition to getting more businesses to sign on, Asheville Grown Business Alliance also continues to explore ways of hooking up area youth with local entrepreneurs. The alliance encourages innovative partnerships between businesses and schools, like the Vance Elementary tour of businesses hosted by Roots Foundation and onHaywood.com this fall.

MOUNTAIN XPRESS / 2019 LOVE ASHEVILLE GO LOCAL DIRECTORY

Charen sees Asheville’s youth as a critical component in maintaining the area’s rich culture and unique vibe. But today’s students, she says, must have incentives and opportunities to become the city’s future business leaders. “When business owners live here and their kids go to school here, as parents, they’re more invested in local issues,” she explains. “They’re driving the roads here and going to the parks, so local initiatives are more important to them.”

Conversely, Charen considers the influx of absentee ownership as one of the greatest threats to Asheville’s future. She believes those owners’ interests are often strictly economic. “They’re not concerned about our culture, environment and public schools,” she says.

To curtail this risk, Asheville Grown, in partnership with the city of Asheville, the Asheville Downtown Association, the Asheville Independent Restaurant Association and Lexington Avenue merchants, recently launched the city’s first downtown business census. The results of the survey, says Charen, show that 86 percent of respondents strongly prefer to see fewer chain stores in downtown.

The survey also revealed a slew of other concerns among owners, including the need for more health care options for employees, rising rents and lack of affordable housing. Charen views the census as “a powerful tool that arms us and other advocacy organizations with real numbers that help us fight for a stronger local economy.”

In addition to the census, Asheville Grown helped launch the inaugural 2018 Love Asheville Go Local Week, which took place during the week of Valentine’s Day. Ten downtown banners announced the celebration, officially recognized by the city, which also included a yarn bombing by Purl’s Yarn Emporium, special offers by dozens of local businesses and 3,000 hours of free parking.

Moving forward, Charen says the 2019 weeklong Valentine’s Day bash will continue as an annual celebration to help spotlight local businesses. When people shop locally, she notes, everyone comes out ahead. “Three times more money gets circulated back into the local economy when

you work with local businesses,” she says. “I also think locally owned businesses are much more sensitive to what the local culture wants.”

At press time, City Council is planning to build on its previous support by declaring December to be Love Asheville, Buy Local Month, according to Mayor Esther Manheimer. In the official state-

Locally owned businesses are much more sensitive to what the local culture wants – Franzi Charen ment, Manheimer notes, “Studies show that those who live in communities where local, independent businesses are the norm are healthier — and thus happier. ...”

To help garner additional support and to generate greater visibility, Asheville Grown looks to its volunteer steering committee.

Bryan says committee members are reaching out to their favorite shops and restaurants, encouraging owners to join the Go Local network. Meanwhile, the committee also urges cardholders to voice their appreciation to businesses that do accept the card. This over-

all support, Bryan notes, helps fuel a strong, local economy.

The theme of strength played a deciding factor in the 2019 card design. Once again, Asheville Grown commissioned local artist Jenny Greer Fares of Sound Mind Creative to create it.This year’s image is of a black bear, which replaces last year’s winged lion-gargoyle.

“Bears are a symbol of strength, power and protection,” says Charen. The animal is also among the area’s original locals, she points out. “They’ve been here a lot longer than we have, which is part of the idea for this campaign,” Charen explains. “It’s not just about surviving, but also about how to live in a community and respect not only each other but our environment.”

Bryan adds that the black bear exudes an innate sense of selfconfidence and self-reliance, which she connects to the campaign’s mission of a self-sustaining local economy. “Our card sales have grown every single year,” she says. “Which means more and more people are buying the card, learning about the card and learning about the local economy.

“I feel like our vision, dream and goal would be for every local, independent business to be on the card,” Bryan continues. “That’s a huge, lofty goal, but that’s the direction we’re working toward.”

The Go Local Card, she adds, “is a tool to bring people’s attention to our mission and to educate them about the importance of a strong local economy.”

GO LOCAL RAISES FUNDS FOR SCHOOLS

BY THOMAS CALDER When Montford North Star Academy first opened during the 2017-18 school year, its PTO had no money. “Not one dollar,” says the organization’s co-president Amy Jones. Naturally, this posed a problem. “As the PTO, you wrangle parents to volunteer and you provide material for the staff,” Jones explains.

“But the important part of what you do — the really impactful part — is that you have money for teachers, for staff and for students.”

To combat the group’s financial woes, Jones launched a write-in campaign. But money was slow to come in. Until, that is, funding from Go Local Card sales arrived. “That first check we got was for $1,500,” says Jones. Soon thereafter another check appeared for $600 from Asheville Grown. The combined amount accounted for one-fifth of the PTO’s overall budget that year.

Similar stories are told by fellow PTO members and staff throughout the 10 Asheville City Schools connected to the Go Local Card campaign. For every card purchased by members of the public, half of the $18 price goes directly to these educational institutions. In 2018, this amounted to $26,000.

The discounts are the lesser part of the story, now that I know how much the card impacts the schools represented – Amy Jones In addition to financial support, the Go Local campaign also creates connections between the city’s current business community and its potential future business leaders, today’s students. A number of local businesses, such as the Fine Arts Theatre, Malaprop’s Bookstore/Cafe, Blue Dream Curry House and French Broad Choco-

In the process, some of these businesses develop unique relationships with the students they support.

For example, In Real Life, an afterschool program for all Asheville City Schools middle school students, is sponsored by Hopey and Co. of French Broad Avenue. Brian Randall, IRL’s codirector, says what began as a sponsorship has quickly developed into a true partnership. Chefs from Hopey have led courses in the after-school program’s cooking classes, and the grocery store has since become IRL’s go-to space for hosting events.

“When our IRL kids see the IRL logo paired with the Go Local card at a local business, it creates a sense of pride and connection between the child and the business,” Randall explains. And it stresses the local interdependence: “Visual reminders that our community supports itself is an important lesson for our future business leaders and consumers,” he says.

Franzi Charen, who launched the Go Local Card campaign in 2012, says spreading this message among students is a critical component of the overall mission. “We want to connect our youth to the importance of locally owned independent businesses,” she says.

MOUNTAIN XPRESS / 2019 LOVE ASHEVILLE GO LOCAL DIRECTORY

Along with fostering local pride, the Go Local Card also helps Asheville students explore regions beyond the mountains of Western North Carolina.

“One of the most important things that we did last year was send all our fifth-grade students on the class trip to Charleston,” says Vance Elementary PTO member Rachel Figura. Money raised from the Go Local Card campaign helped create scholarships for students with financial needs, she explains. “Many of them had never been to the beach before,” Figura notes. “It was their first time on the sand.”

Whether it is special programs, scholarships, field trips or renovations, the Go Local Card assists Asheville City Schools in a number of different ways, says Jones. But these contributions, she feels, are often overlooked.

That certainly was the case for Jones before her involvement with the Montford North Star Academy. Back then, she measured the card’s value based on the local deals it offered. Today her outlook is quite different. “The discounts are the lesser part of the story, now that I know how much the card impacts the schools represented,” she says.

Of course, the local deals that come with the card do make for a nice bonus.

“It’s the icing on the cake if you’re someone who believes in giving,” Jones says.

BEST OF WNC WINNER selected by readers of x Mountain Xpress, Western North Carolina’s source

for locally focused community news, arts and culture coverage since 1994.

HELP SPREAD THE WORD By purchasing and using a Go Local Card, you support independent, locally owned businesses. What’s more, half the card’s purchase price goes directly to assist Asheville City Schools.

Here are a couple of other ways you can help grow the local economy and the Go Local campaign.

• GIVE A GIFT: Go Local cards make excellent gifts for friends, family and loved ones, and they keep giving all year round.

• TELL A BUSINESS: If you frequent a locally owned business that isn’t on the card, suggest they consider joining. Make sure to let them know membership is free.

• USE YOUR CARD: There are plenty of businesses that accept the Go Local Card. Don’t forget to take advantage of the card’s benefits. Use it often, save money and let business owners know that you appreciate their involvement in the Go Local campaign.

What local means to me “Asheville Grown allows us to play a larger role in the local business community. We’re connected in a way that we weren’t before. Other local vendors sell their products with us, and we sell our products with them.

It’s been really nice joining with a bunch of other people that are trying to make a living in Asheville.”

What local means to me "We partnered with Asheville Grown and the Roots Foundation to coordinate Vance Elementary School tours of West Asheville businesses, where students asked challenging questions about what it takes to keep a small business running. It is key that children learn the importance of our thriving local economy at an early age. We need for these businesses and opportunities to be around for them when they grow up."
