SUPPORT BLACK BUSINESSES
The 2nd Saturday Ministry urges you to spend more money with Black businesses as a way to strengthen the economies of our local Black communities. It is a fact that if we spend 5% more money with metro Black businesses, we can create 24,000 jobs and 66% or 18,000 will be jobs for Blacks. In order to do this, you will have to be intentional and sometimes go out of you way, but we have a lot of super Black businesses in metro Atlanta! We encourage you to spend with Black businesses at least 5% more each and every year. For example, there is a Black owned ACE Hardware Store on Old National Hwy. You can find a lot of Black businesses by searching "Black Business in Atlanta" on the internet. Let's Bless Our People!
Joseph Hudson - Second Saturday Ministry
