Holiday Shop Locally

Shopping locally has a plethora of benefits, not just for the local community but also for the environment. One of the best things about shopping locally is that it supports the local economy and businesses. By shopping at local stores, you can help small businesses thrive, create jobs, and contribute to the growth of your community.

In addition, shopping locally can also have a positive impact on the environment by reducing carbon emissions from transportation. Local businesses also tend to source their products locally, which means that fewer resources are required for transportation, and there is a lower carbon footprint.

Moreover, by shopping locally, you can also support the Sierra State Parks Foundation, which partners and supports the CA State Parks in the Lake Tahoe - Donner Lake area. The proceeds from shopping at the Visitor Center store at Donner Memorial State Park fund restoration projects and educational programming at the parks. You can find uniquely curated items like merchandise, books, soaps, trinkets, clothes, and more.

So, the next time you need to shop, consider shopping locally to make a positive impact on the community, the environment, and the parks.
