The holiday season is here, and we encourage you to make time and space for giving back. With #GivingTuesday just around the corner, we're reflecting on this quote. It's from an old Charlotte Magazine article, but the message is as relevant as ever:
"I would suspect that operating a store successfully in small towns teaches one, among other things, to value local communities, not in the abstract but in the daily appreciation of what it takes to make a community a livable place...The Levines' giving is a way of caring for the neighbor, and inspires the rest of us to go and do likewise."
