This year, the Birmingham Business Resource Center wants to encourage you to keep holiday shopping local. Small businesses are the backbone of our community, providing jobs, tax dollars, contributions to our schools and non-profits, as well as the character that makes Birmingham unique. The BBRC Community Connect eGift Card is a community-based digital gift card that makes it fun and easy to keep local spending local. Purchase a BBRC Community Card here to spend at one or many of Birmingham’s participating merchants. Recipients could use it for their latte in the morning, visit the salon next door for a pedicure, grab lunch with a friend, hit the boutiques, and meet up for date night happy hour – all using their Community Card from their mobile phone.
