As a new opportunity to make a difference, it also empowers residents by giving them more choice in how their dollars influence the community. Whether someone donates their round-up total, uses cashback to support a local business, or saves it for future needs, the program confirms that every purchase has purpose. It strengthens the sense of collective participation that defines Yellow Springs and supports nonprofits that contribute greatly to the cultural, social, and economic vitality of the area.
In addition to benefiting residents, this initiative also welcomes participation from neighboring visitors who come to Yellow Springs throughout the year. As people travel to the village to enjoy its nature trails, shops, restaurants, and events, their local spending becomes another avenue of community support. Visitors can take pride in knowing that their purchases can help bolster nonprofit programs and strengthen the village economy, deepening their connection to a place they enjoy and often return to. This expands the circle of support beyond village limits and encourages ongoing engagement from those who appreciate and care for the community.
Thriving local communities grow from collaboration, generosity, and shared values. This partnership with Bridge Credit Union and the Yellow Springs Community Foundation reflects that belief and positions everyday spending as a powerful tool for economic and social investment. As we move into the holiday season and beyond, we encourage everyone to shop local, earn more, and give back in ways that make a meaningful difference.
Together, we continue building a Yellow Springs where people, businesses, nonprofits, and even visiting friends all contribute to a thriving and connected community.
