BUSINESSES: Get on the Map

Good Neighbors -
Great Community.

THE WALL sends verified donors through your door. People give to local 501(c)(3) causes, and as a thank-you they unlock the Trove — real deals from real local businesses like yours. You choose the offer. They choose you.

You get a pin on the community map, your events on the community calendar, and a live profile page with your website, socials, hours and deals — a Business Badge that works for you around the clock.

And it's bigger than deals. THE WALL publishes quality information on current, real-life issues — like drink spiking — and connects our neighbors to vetted community help through the free Resource Library. Joining puts your business inside that safety net.

Grow with us - for FREE. Entry now gets you on THE WALL through July 2027.

Why this project exists

The heart of THE WALL is the Resource Library.

When your business joins, you strengthen the community that connects people to the resources they need.

We research and publish quality information on current, real-life issues — like drink-spiking awareness, food access and nutritional guides, housing and youth resources, recovery and more — we connect neighbors straight to the local organizations that actually help.
