Welcome to Hometown Peninsula

We are an Alliance of Locally-Owned Businesses, Residents and Non-Profits working together to build a better quality of life on the Peninsula for everyone.

 

 

Hometown Peninsula encourages consumers to consider the advantages of making choices that benefit the local economy and to shift their spending behaviors to benefit locally-owned businesses and our Peninsula communities. We also aim to educate our civic leaders on the importance of developing policies that support independent businesses to keep our communities of locally owned enterprises vibrant and strong.

 

Hometown Peninsula Local First Brand

You can see the benefits of partnering with Hometown Peninsula on the pages of our website. Becoming a member of Hometown Peninsula is really about stimulating your engagement in the movement, and ultimately branding the local first message. Our success relies upon developing a healthy brand that sends deep roots into the heart of our Peninsula communities. The local first movement is driven by the same entrepreneurship and ethic that drive indie businesses, and we encourage you to be engaged.

Hometown Peninsula Local First Movement

What does it mean to engage in Hometown Peninsula’s Local First Movement?

HtP members:

•·         Understand the value of and support locally-owned independent businesses

•·         Proudly and visibly display, “Local First” media in the windows of their businesses

•·         Stay connected through this site and posting events within their communities

•·         Actively update their profiles and watch our Events Page for upcoming meetings and events

•·         Educate and train their staff, customers, friends and neighbors about the importance of supporting locally owned independents

 

But where we really make a difference is by donating – donating our time and voice to the movement is just as important as financial support. Members who participate in and develop periodic events designed to both educate the public and encourage public involvement see the greatest return on their membership investment.

 

What Can I Do Now?
