“Carmen and I were blown away by the incredible impact Sarah Kavanagh had on our community when she created the Shop Local Facebook and Instagram pages. Especially during those early days of Covid, when everything felt uncertain and isolating, Sarah's initiative was a beacon of hope. She single-handedly kept our community connected, showcasing local businesses, and providing a platform for people to support each other.

What I think is truly remarkable is that she stepped up when many others weren't around. She went above and beyond, pouring her heart and soul into those pages, and it paid off in so many ways. She helped local businesses stay afloat, fostered a sense of community, and gave people a sense of belonging when they needed it most.

Sarah's dedication and passion were inspiring, and her efforts didn't go unnoticed. She proved that one person can make a real difference, and her legacy will continue to inspire others to take action. We're forever grateful for her contributions to our community."
