Connecting to the Community: Malik
One key part of your health is your connection to your community. And one way to connect with your community is to get involved and give back. Each Saturday, we feature different ways members of the Northshore Acupuncture Center community are rolling up their sleeves and giving back.
This week we are featuring Malik’s support for small businesses. Malik, the owner of Hip Circle Studio, has organized her network to participate in a monthly cash mob where the group makes purchases at a local independently owned business. Shopping local and independent shops is important for the health and vibrancy of our communities. Cash Mobs bring a lot of shoppers and attention to a single business each month to show support and to help them stay open in this challenging economy. This month’s cash mob is TOMORROW 10/30 at Sweety Pies Bakery at 8042 Lincoln Ave in Skokie. Request to join the Facebook group CashMob by Malik to be informed of future month’s cash mob.
