❤️ Why It Matters
Your purchase of a Localist Card directly supports our mission at Lowcountry Local First to cultivate an economy anchored in local ownership. The more we circulate our dollars locally, the more jobs, innovation, and community wealth we create – together.
The Localist Card is designed to promote year-round local spending, drive consistent support to small businesses, and strengthen the relationships that make the Lowcountry so special. Every time you use your card, you’re putting your dollars where your heart is – supporting local entrepreneurs, preserving the character of our region, and building a more resilient local economy.
Whether you're a resident who loves to shop small or a visitor wanting to experience the best of the Lowcountry, the Localist Card makes it easy (and rewarding!) to support your favorite neighborhood spots.
