My research question is how do local businesses contribute to their community? I came across this question as I was reading interviews from workers and business owners of Industrial Rehabilitation Consultants, Crane Lumber Company, and Leinenkugel Brewery. All of these businesses are located in the Chippewa Falls, WI area.
I am interested in this because my family started a small business in my home town and I’d like to think that we contribute a lot to our community. It is interesting to see how other small town businesses succeed and contribute to their community.
I don’t fully understand these businesses and how they contribute to their community because I had never heard of them before two weeks ago. I had only heard of the Leinenkugel Brewery before. I am not from or am familiar with the Chippewa Falls area.
Im am curious to know how a few of those business contribute to community but I know Leinenkugel Brewery does a lot. Leinenkugel has there hand in almost every local event from sponsoring to donating items to raise money. Jacob Leinenkugel is a very generous and modest man. He ones donated his seats at a Milwaukee Brewers game to me and my family after I got home from Iraq.
