Over 100 Community Members Support Burlingame Businesses! Do You?
By taking the pledge, community members acknowledge their:
- appreciation for the diversity of services and products that Burlingame businesses make available to the community;
- understanding of the benefits of buying from Burlingame businesses such as keeping stores profitable and open; recirculating money in Burlingame's local economy; conserving energy and resources in the form of less fuel for transportation and deliveries and less packaging; helping businesses “pay it forward” with their contributions to local causes and nonprofits; and contributing to City services, programs, and infrastructure through the sales tax paid on purchases made in Burlingame; and
- commitment to considering Burlingame-based businesses before making purchases.
