❤️ Supporting Our East Side Community, One Business at a Time❤️
For those who may not know, I’m a proud member of the East Side Area Business Association (ESABA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting, connecting, and advocating for the diverse businesses and communities on St. Paul’s East Side.
This past Friday, I had the pleasure of joining my fellow ESABA member, Yolanda, at the Mexican Consulate to connect with our community, share valuable resources, and spread awareness about the challenges our local businesses are facing due to ongoing construction. We were there to promote Construction Bucks, share information about the Fall Frenzy Stamp Card Program, answer questions about ESABA, and most importantly, let our community know that our local businesses are still OPEN and need our support🛍️
💡 Why does this matter?
Because behind every small business is a family, a dream, years of hard work, and someone who took a chance on themselves. When construction affects foot traffic and visibility, it affects more than just a business. It affects livelihoods and our entire community. That's why showing up, spreading awareness, sharing resources, and supporting one another matters so much.
Being part of ESABA means more to me than just being a member of an organization. It means being involved, building meaningful relationships, giving back, and being a voice for the community. As a real estate professional, I believe strong neighborhoods are built on strong communities, thriving local businesses, and people who genuinely care about where they live and work. ❤️
I'm proud to stand alongside an organization that believes in Advocating Success for St. Paul's Diverse East Side Business Community. If you're a business owner looking for resources, someone interested in getting involved with ESABA, or simply a community member wondering how you can help, let's connect.
And remember, something as simple as stopping by a local restaurant, shopping at a small business, or sharing their information can make a difference.
❤️ Let's continue showing up for our East Side. Our businesses need us, and together we can make an impact.
