Mission Statement

WILL Buy Locally is a non-profit Independent Business Alliance  who’s major role will be to educate the public about the importance of buying from those who live and run independent businesses in Will County IL.  It has been proven through studies that when consumers support independently owned businesses, a larger portion of  the money spent stays in the community.  A large portion of the money spent at chains is sent to corporations in other parts of the country.

The independent, locally owned businesses of the Will County area provide a unique flavor to the community.  They are also major supporters of athletic teams, schools and local fundraising groups.  Without the independent local businesses of the area, many other organizations could not raise the funds they need to continue.

Through the efforts of advertising and events, the WILL Buy Locally Alliance hopes to educate the public and change the way people make decisions when they are going to purchase goods and services.
