About Us

Our mission is to make it easy for schools to buy from local and sustainable businesses, reinvesting resources into the local economy, strengthening communities, and creating a positive ripple effect on the global economy.

We believe the future is local

We believe the future is local because communities thrive when they support each other. By choosing to buy from nearby businesses, schools can make a direct impact on their local economy, create jobs, and reduce their carbon footprint. It's a simple but powerful way to build a more sustainable future—one where every purchase helps both the environment and the people who live and work in the community. Together, we can create a future where local businesses grow, schools get the products they need, and everyone benefits.

And we’re just getting started

And we’re just getting started. Our vision goes beyond just connecting schools with local suppliers—we’re building a movement that empowers communities, supports small businesses, and drives sustainable growth. With each partnership, we’re paving the way for a future where local, eco-friendly solutions are the norm, not the exception. The journey has only begun, and we’re excited to grow, innovate, and make a lasting impact together.
