Danville Invited To ‘Take The Pledge’ To Help Local Business

Press release from the Town of Danville:

The Town of Danville, in partnership with the Danville Area Chamber of Commerce has launched the I Pledge to Support Local grassroots campaign to encourage support of local businesses this holiday season, many of whom have been heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“In Danville, small businesses are the heart of our community and merchants are working hard to continue to offer safe shopping experiences while still providing outstanding customer service and knowledge,” said Economic Development Manager Jill Bergman. “Many stores offer online shopping, gift cards, special orders, local delivery, curbside pick-up, and gift wrapping to make the experience as easy as possible.”

The I Pledge to Support Local movement keeps funds in the community and helps hard-hit businesses remain open, so they can continue to provide valued goods and services to our community all year round. Danville residents are invited to make an impact together by taking the Pledge to Support Local this holiday season.

How to Take the Pledge:

1. Create a shopping and wish list with the help of the Danville Picks Holiday Gift Guide or search for local business listings on the Danville Business Directory

2. Share your I Pledge To Support Local stories and pictures on social media channels as a way of spreading the word.

3. Tag the Town of Danville on Instagram using #pledgedanville for a chance to receive Danville branded swag or a gift card to a local business.

4. Invite friends and family to join this wonderful business support campaign and ‘Take the Pledge’ themselves.

While doing their shopping and dining, the community is also invited to explore the Tree Trail, beginning December 1, 2020. Local storefronts will have beautifully decorated trees throughout Danville. By strolling to find all the trees, residents can visit the stores, take the pledge and stay rooted in this amazing community.

After completing the trail, residents can share a photo of their favorite tree on social media, tag @livelocallydanville, @townofdanvilleca and @danvilleparksca on Instagram and use #DanvilleTreeTrail.
