🎅 Consumers to Santa: 81% of Americans Want Made in USA!    🇺🇸 Are you part of the 81% asking Santa for American-made gifts this year? According to the Alliance for American Manufacturing, the Made in America movement is growing stronger every day! Supporting American manufacturing means strengthening local communities, creating well-paying jobs, and keeping money here at home - not flowing to foreign governments like China. It’s about investing in our workers, our future – our children. Another big reason so many Americans are choosing Made in USA?  Unpredictable overseas supply chains and tariffs.  From pandemic-related disruptions to shippers rerouting around the Suez Canal for safety concerns, international shipping has proven unreliable time and again. Tariffs on Santa’s gifts encourage more American manufacturing since American made products aren’t impacted by tariffs. Why gamble with uncertainty when we can support reliable, local manufacturing? This holiday season, give gifts that make a difference. Choose Made in USA! ▶ Thank you to all of our Followers! 🇺🇸 Terravive is the leading woman, minority, veteran-owned global supplier of 100% Made in USA, No PFAS added, eco-friendly, compostable #Foodservice Disposables - - WBENC certified. 🌱 Follow Terravive's mission to turn off the tap of plastic pollution globally. #christmas #fun #supplychain #madeinusa K9Heroes4Heroes VETS2INDUSTRY Joe Swider
