Thank you for your donations to our Save Our Smalls Program!
Through the S.O.S. program, your donations are doing double duty. Your donations first went towards saving small businesses in the Carlisle community by giving them a large purchase and then those purchases are being donated to local charities and frontline workers. Learn more about the program in the next section. See the program's press below.
Your donations helped 65 small downtown Carlisle businesses with $300 buys, and we are still finding homes for the gift certificates purchased. We have currently paused the program, but you can still donate towards our other initiatives that help small businesses using the link below.
