Atrium, a Sacramento nonprofit, has brought together a team of talented people to create locally made masks that ship anywhere with same-day delivery in Sacramento.
Funds raised from the sale of the masks will help cover lost income for local artisans and others, and buy supplies to make free masks for those in need.
This campaign is designed to help small businesses recover from devastating closures of two months or more. Colorful yard signs are displayed outside businesses to signal to neighbors that they have re-opened for business.
The 100% Local Pledge Campaign message is designed to remind citizens that they need to support local businesses and keep purchasing dollars with local retailers, and not online.
