We’d like to extend a big congratulations to our Essay contest winners: Sarah and Colin.
The Winning Essays
Sarah’s essay said:
Why it’s important to shop local
…it creates jobs for people in our area. I volunteer at My Father’s House, a community shelter and I know that those people there wish there were more jobs for them close to home. There are so many other people in our area that need work and by shopping local we can provide a way for them to support their families.
Colin’s essay said:
Why it’s important to shop local
..is because when you shop at my friend Herman’s store you are giving them money and that is what feeds his family. When you buy something at the store that cash turns into money that takes care of them. Herman’s store is just a few blocks from my house and I walk there to buy all my ice creams from his store.
Sarah & Colin, thank you for entering the contest and understanding the importance of shopping local!
