New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has teamed up with Wells Fargo, the Bank of Doing, to support local small woman-owned businesses this holiday season.

On Tuesday, Dec. 12, Shepard was front front and center at the Wells Fargo Small Business Market at Hudson Yards to shop with eight small women-owned businesses from the tristate area. As part of the Bank of Doing, Wells Fargo is committed to doing more to help amplify small businesses.

Sterling was at the Small Business Market buying gifts from the small business owners for his daughters and girlfriend. It was a win-win for the Sterling who supported women in business and secured Christmas gifts for the leading ladies in his life.

“I’m here with Wells Fargo and the Bank of Doing. They’re all about taking action and supporting some of the small businesses,” he tells BLACK ENTERPRISE. “So we’re here at Hudson Yards and we have eight women that have created small businesses and give back. They’re the backbone of our community.”

It’s an initiative that means a lot for Sterling. He has a sister who is also a small business owner. “I know what it takes to start a business.”

Now through January 1, Wells Fargo is spotlighting eight tristate small businesses through the Wells Fargo Small Business Market. The festive shopping experience will provide these local merchants access to a wide range of shoppers living or working in New York City, along with the millions of visitors and tourists who make their way into the city to celebrate the holiday season.
