All local. All the time.

Welcome to the Summer Small Business Issue of Fig Columbia! This is an issue unlike any other that we have produced. We honestly didn’t know if we’d be able to publish an issue this season. This issue, we’re focusing on the local small businesses that are championing, supporting, and believing in other small businesses in our community, including our own.

We are overwhelmed with the support that we received to produce our 27th Fig Columbia. It was made possible through partnerships with Nephron Pharmaceuticals, WP Rawl Farms, Goings Law Firm, The Sweeten Group, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. These businesses specifically partnered with us to help the businesses that have been big Fig supporters throughout the years to help them get back on their feet. We’re also grateful for each of the small businesses that purchased a page with us! It’s because of small businesses championing one another that we’re able to bring you this issue of Fig Columbia.

Show your love for South Carolina, and for the hope and resiliency of our community with our Dum Spiro Spero t-shirts, stickers, and letterpressed cards and prints.

Wear your shirt with pride, place your vinyl sticker on the door to your business, and put your sticker in a spot that you’ll see it every day. It’s our reminder to you that Columbia will be back, stronger than ever, because of the strength of our community.

A portion of proceeds from our t-shirt and sticker sales will be donated to The One SC Fund: COVID-19 Response, a fund that will be used to respond to food, shelter, health, and nonprofit sustainability needs stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Shop to get yours today.
