What makes the towns of Nevada County one-of-a kind are the small businesses that grace Broad Street in Nevada City. That line Mill Street in Grass Valley. Adorn Donner Pass Road in Truckee. And the countless other thoroughfares that are in the historic corridors. It’s what makes them special. This holiday season make it a point to show your love on Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday.
Small Business Saturday Is Your Chance To Support The Wildlands Too
By choosing to support local small businesses, not only are your hard-earned dollars benefitting the community, but you’re also making a positive impact on the environment. Wondering how? Well, when you compare them to large corporations or chains, small businesses leave a significantly smaller carbon footprint. This is because they operate with a keen focus on their limited budget, making deliberate choices when it comes to purchases and resource use. They require less transportation and generate less waste as a result.

Show Thanks On Giving Tuesday
Thanksgiving is a time for cherishing moments with loved ones. To reflect on your blessings from the past year and express your gratitude. As the holiday season unfolds, consider harnessing the spirit of giving on the following Tuesday, known as “Giving Tuesday.” It’s an opportunity to show your appreciation by supporting a nonprofit organization that plays a vital role in the Nevada County community, enriching it in various ways.
Where To Give A Big Bear Hug
For the eastern part of the county, the Center for Nonprofit Leadership has curated a wish list featuring a comprehensive array of organizations and how you can contribute to their causes. In Truckee and the western portion of the county, you can connect with Give Back Tahoe for similar opportunities to make a positive impact.
