Do you have plans for Saturday? 👀

Head downtown to TC for Shop Your Community Day! Not only can you snag a few treats for yourself or your loved ones, but you can also make a meaningful impact on the organizations serving our community.

When you shop at participating downtown stores, you’ll have the opportunity to choose a nonprofit (and we hope you’ll choose TBCAC!) to receive a percentage of the sales.

So grab some friends, enjoy a little shopping, treat yourself to that special coffee, and make your purchases count!

Shop local. Support your community. Make an impact. ❤️
