Party with a Purpose! Celebrate Localism & Support SNAP Relief

We’re throwing a launch party for Local First’s 2026 Be Local Coupon Book this Thursday, November 13, from 5–7 pm at Union Social House, and we’d love to see you there!

Come mingle with fellow localists, snag your copy of the Coupon Book, and make a difference. For every book sold, $5 will be donated to the CERF: SNAP Relief Fund.

For members picking up their complimentary Coupon Book at the event, we’re inviting folks to consider making a $5 donation to support the fund as well.

And because no celebration is complete without music, we’ll have live tunes from Galavant the Band, the powerhouse trio of Nicola Dehlinger, Merida Odiorne, and Jen Sokol.

Bring a friend, grab a drink, and celebrate the businesses, non-profits, and people who make our region special!

Working with La Plata County’s local, independent business community to create an economy that values people, planet and prosperity for everyone!
