Giving Local Means More

The purchase of a single card can be used at any participating Buy 319 businesses. Buy319 Gift Cards are perfect for your family, colleagues, friends and any occasion. It’s the gift that keeps on giving back to our community – Give the gift of local now!
Join the Buy319 local movement. All businesses are encouraged to sign the pledge to commit to switching to a local 319 vendor. Once the pledge is submitted, your businesses name will appear on our 2025 pledge list, showcasing your commitment to the campaign and support for local businesses. Once you have pledged, access the membership directory and search for the product or services your personal business needs to continue to be the best local advocate it can be.
“Face to face business relationships are rewarding as well as profitable for both parties. We get referrals from our vendors and we give them right back. It shows we all care about our communities. We have a Community Impact committee which is constantly involved in the effort to support local events and charities. We do this with either employee-owners’ time or financial support to reach the needs in the community.”
Kristi Kothenbeutel, Van Meter Inc.
“Building relationships with local companies has benefited us and spreading the awareness of our brand, spreading awareness of our corporate events and festivals, and at the end of the day, we all win.”
Sammy Petersen, Bloomsbury Farm
“The more that we can keep here and put back into our economy will give us a much better chance for our community to grow.”
Eric VanKerckhov, Allegra
“The easiest way to kickstart a ‘buy local’ mindset is to review your business and what things might be better served locally.”
