About Us

When Love Live Local started in 2013, how it would evolve was a bit of an unknown. The intention was to highlight positive stories, Cape Cod happenings and connect local businesses with customers and supporters. As the founders began to appreciate not only how important small business was to the region, but also how much they were struggling, the messaging evolved, and they began to advocate much more strongly on behalf of small, local businesses – the backbone of this community.

In 2020 Love Live Local became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in order to expand upon this movement and its educational activities. As a nonprofit the organization aims to seek more opportunities for support and collaboration.
