Today I am shouting out a big thank you to all community members who came to Small Business Saturday and purchased the Double Value Gift Cards. Thank you, also, for spending time shopping at your favorite galleries and shops on that day, November 27. Your support with the gift cards means $49,110 will be spent in businesses owned by local entrepreneurs.
That said, we are so sorry we did not have more funding to satisfy everyone who came in that day. We sold out by 1:30 in the afternoon. We will be looking for more grant opportunities in 2022 to keep bringing this event to Millville’s Glasstown Arts District.
Another big thank you goes to our nonprofit partner in this project, Holly City Development Corporation, which provided a grant of $20,000 to match the sales. The grant is part of the Neighborhood Preservation Program run by Holly City Development.
It seems as though the days are flying past. Many of us are hurrying and making plans to be with family and friends for the holidays. There are many special holiday events happening around Cumberland County. Here are some that may be perfect for your family.
