ABOUT BUY LOCAL:

The Community-Campus Partnership's (CCP) Buy Local Program provides opportunities for local, underrepresented residents to learn how to a start small business here in Aurora. Through a partnership between CCP and the City of Aurora, residents can participate in an entrepreneurial training program offered by the Mi Casa Resource Center. This 20-week program offers training in managing a business and cash flow, conducting industry research, and creating a marketing and business plan, among many other things important to starting a new business. Program graduates may join the Aurora Small Business Owners (ASBO) Group which seeks to establish a variety of resident-driven cooperatives, such as El Alba’s Catering and Food Services Cooperative. Stimulating economic opportunities locally can help to reduce community displacement and can benefit residents and their families. We hope you continue to support these wonderful minority and women-owned businesses in Aurora. Thank you for supporting your community!
