What Is JP Local First?

We are a network of local and independently owned businesses and nonprofits in Jamaica Plain and surrounding neighborhoods working to grow a strong and sustainable local economy for our vibrant community. We aim to increase inter-business support networks and educate the public about the significant environmental, economic, and cultural benefits of shopping local.

The mission of JP Local First is to support, promote, and celebrate a “Local Economy Community” by educating the public and government about the significant environmental, economic, and cultural benefits of a strong local economy.

JP Local First was formed on Valentine’s Day 2013, and we currently have over 170 members.
