A local business is teaming up with a U.S. Congressman and a Republican-backed organization to highlight the rising cost of living and give away grocery store gift cards in Saxonburg later this week.
Spankle’s Neighborhood Market is hosting U.S. Representative Mike Kelly along with the Pennsylvania chapter of Americans for Prosperity on Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
As part of the nationwide “True Cost of Washington Campaign”, the first 100 attendees will receive a $105 grocery store gift card while the next 100 attendees will receive a gift card of $52.93 which the group says represents the average cost of a week’s worth of inflation for American families.
Also, Kelly will talk about how federal spending and regulations are making everything more expensive.
