We are proud to be part of this program, and several others that support our local community needs. With the monetary issues being faced on state, county and local levels it is important that business supported by the community find ways to give back where it can best help.
It is important that community members mention this program when shopping at businesses that are participating. This will encourage other businesses to take part and assure the success of the program in the long run.

Play It Again Sports at Grant and El Camino is part of this program. Even though our sales are down nearly 45% from last year we still felt it was important to support this program as well as other leagues. We are hopeful everyone is support who is part of this program. We also are still supporting the following organizations.

MVLA Little League

and numberous local schools

E-Scrip is a wonderful program that gives money back to local schools when you shop at participating merchants. Our Shop Local program will also benefit local schools and our local economy when people shop at partipating businesses. Shop Local is a locally run and managed program.

The Shop Local concept is an awesome idea and I am honored and happy to be a part of such an amazing program that helps the local economy AND raises money for schools.

My kids attend Bubb and Graham—excellent schools that are providing my kids with excellent educations. The teachers and principals alike are SUPER involved with students and parents, and are committed to students’ success. With the horrible budget cuts that were made to schools this year, I feel lucky and proud to be actively doing something that has a direct, positive impact on making a difference to help schools and education, while at the same time helping to improve the local economy. Shop Local is a program that is true win-win for us all!

Is this program patterned after e-scrip? Hope so…I’ll be sure to spend even more of my $$ locally.

I have been seeing shop local efforts all around the country but none yet have picked up on this idea of tying it into community support. There are many ways that when businesses support their communities,the community supports the business back and everyone benefits. Congratulations to Mountain View’s Shop Local. I hope this sets a trend for other communities.
