The global pandemic has disproportionately affected small, black-owned businesses. 

Supporting our local black-owned businesses in the greater Springfield area builds our local economy, creates job opportunities for diverse populations, and strengthens the overall health of our community.

Community Health Foundation has compiled this list to foster community support for black-owned businesses. We are pleased that the creation of this list was a collaborative project that included Kim Fish, Chris Wallace, and Ashten Houseman. We extend our thanks to them for their ongoing support and participation.

We understand that there may be businesses missing from this list. Please help us by making us aware of them. Email dvanauker@gmail.com,  or call / text 937.631.7703.
