On Thanksgiving, we want to give thanks for the local businesses that keep our country thriving, and use local customer support to give back to the communities they serve.

In 2019, local business franchises donated $1.9B to charities, while raising another $900M for charities across the country. These are men and women who live and work in the communities they serve, but give back to them as well. (Source: shorturl.at/coyPX)

65% of local business owners reported giving to local charities, donating an average of 6% of total profits to the local charities that support the communities that these local businesses operate in.

18 million hours of volunteering were sponsored by franchised businesses in 2019, which are worth hundreds of millions of dollars to society.

Let’s give thanks for local businesses who keep our communities afloat throughout the year. Join the fight to #SaveLocalBiz at: savelocalbusinesses.com
