Residents are encouraged to post photos and positive reviews of local businesses with the hashtag #ShopLocalSJ on social media.
- Digital directory to highlight small businesses through the area. Community members who are not active on social media can help identify their favorite local businesses by visiting siliconvalleystrong.org/shoplocal and submit the businesses' information for the online directory.
