Think Local First

Quick Clarifying Note: Think Local First of Washtenaw County is no longer an active organization after disbanding in 2016. However, TLF's former leadership remains committed to the survival and success of locally owned businesses in this area. We are posting to this page to share information and opportunities with businesses and consumers during this difficult time.

Former TLF member the Caravan Shop is completing their GoFundMe campaign. Any little bit will help! Help this community institution keep their doors open! Let's help this 93 year year old business make it to 100!

Four weeks ago we created the “Save The Caravan Gift Shop” go fund me. With your help we have raised a little over $10k. The funds donated have aloud us to sustain our business with our doors being locked and with zero government funding so far. We don’t know how much longer the stay at home order is going to continue, but if you can donate even $5 or share our Go Fund Me, we would really appreciate it! Thank you for helping us keep this 93 year old Ann Arbor business alive. We couldn’t do it with YOU!💞
