Shop HOME First!

This Holiday Season, the Chamber would like to remind you to Shop Sampson First.  Locally owned businesses build strong neighborhoods and communities through their contribution to projects and fundraisers throughout the year.  We hope you will remember them as you choose where to do business.  Keeping dollars in our local economy means more jobs at home and sales tax money that is reinvested in your own community.
Visit the Chamber online at www.clintonsampsonchamber.org or stop by for a list of local retailers, restaurants and service providers right here in Sampson County.  And remember, shop at home; it just makes good sense!
