Grow Together Through Food: Your Small Business and Community Enrichment
It’s said that small businesses are the lifeblood of a community. New businesses will do very well when they immerse themselves with the locals, as it builds trust not just only with the residents but with other business owners and partners alike. Small businesses play an important role in any city or neighborhood. They add to the overall tapestry with their character. Furthermore, these groups have the opportunity to give back to the community and form a strong bond with them. Start with meal donations in your area, then try these suggestions.
5 Ways to Engage with Your Local Community
Partner with Arameal
Arameal’s mission is to create a world where no one has to go hungry. All meal donations are packed with nutrition and are delicious at the same time. The components are wholesome- it has to be hot, with key ingredients that can provide sustenance to the body and mind.
Partnering to donate meals with us gives your small or local business benefits, including increased sales, free marketing, and overall, a rise in revenue. It’s one of the best ways to give back to the community, or introduce your brand to the locals as a company that cares.
Participate as Much as You Can
It goes without saying that you should attend or at least have a presence every time your town or city sets up an event. It could be anything, e.g., an art show made by the locals, a musical concert, or a celebration of food.
Your participation in the event doesn’t have to be big and loud. As long as you’re visible and engage, then it would be enough.
Support the Local Charities
Opportunities to help the community can be done in many ways. You don’t have to look very far to contribute- a quick search online should reveal charities near your place of business. You can also check out the city or the state’s list of non-profit organizations.
Choose a charity that aligns with your audience or resonates with your brand vision. Make contact, then discuss your plans and goals with the organization.
Choose Local Ingredients
Small restaurants won’t have to look far and wide to get the freshest ingredients. Most of the time, it’s available in the local market or a private farm. Buying produce leaves less carbon footprint and will be great for the environment. Local growers will get to know you better and you can show them how much you support them when you host meal donations.
Host an Event Every Now and Then
If you have the budget for it, then you can create your own event and invite fellow businesses. It’s a great way to gain exposure and establish camaraderie among partners and locals. This way, you can create a positive buzz and hopefully, gain some traction from there. Consider public schools, parks, and a library or sports club as your venues.
