Scarsdale, NY — This holiday season, the Scarsdale Business Alliance (SBA) encourages the Scarsdale community to shop locally to strengthen the Village’s economy and enhance local quality of life. The SBA aims to show residents how supporting local businesses benefits everyone. 

“Shopping locally creates a virtuous cycle: for every $100 spent at local businesses, approximately $68 stays within the community, fostering local jobs and economic growth. This strengthens the local economy, supports unique businesses, and enhances community well-being. This local spending fuels growth, creating a ripple effect that benefits schools, community programs, and beyond. Scarsdale residents can make a lasting impact just by shopping local”, according to Jane Veron, CEO and co-founder of The Acceleration Project (TAP). 

This isn’t just about the holiday season – it’s about creating a sustainable future for Scarsdale. Each purchase helps lay the foundation for a stronger community.

To make it even easier to support local businesses, the SBA offers the ‘Dale Dollars eGift Card—a convenient way to shop locally while giving back to the community. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Simple & Convenient: Purchase and send a ‘Dale Dollars eGift Card via email, text, or print, redeemable at over 40 participating Scarsdale shops and restaurants.
