Make it in the USA

Making products in the US helps our communities in so many ways.  It directly impacts the community by creating jobs, but it also impacts the community indirectly too. Many local corporations, whether small or large do more by donating to local causes.  We have seen this in our communities with our local businesses contributing to fundraisers, schools, parks,  playgrounds and local non for profits (which include community outreach programs, animal shelters) that rely on the community for financial contributions.   Smaller business have no choice than to stay local, but bigger corporations have a choice.  When you buy a made or assembled in the USA product, consider it more than a trade war with other countries.  Instead, think of the jobs you help to maintain and the communities you help to support.  All of this helps our own economy in the long run, so lets support these companies.  Here are 5 great companies that are keeping it in the USA.
