About Buy Local Month

With support from the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC), LOVEVA started Buy Local Month in 2019.

Its purpose is to support and celebrate local businesses across Hampton Roads and encourage everyone to shop local now more than ever.

From November 15 to December 15 we ask that you dedicate a portion of your social media platforms to Buy Local Month. We'll be launching the LOVEVA awards and our Holiday Gift Guide on November 15 to kick off the month and then will be posting Buy Local Facts, Reels highlighting the small businesses in each of the major Hampton Roads cities, and more!

Please join us in celebrating Buy Local Month! To make it easy for you, we’ve created a handful of graphics that you can post throughout the month. We’ve also included specific captions that go along with some of the images, so you’ll want to make sure you use those. You can find our Buy Local Month Social media kit here.
