Think back to when ordering takeout involved speaking to a person. My 12-year-old daughter finds that "creepy" and prefers apps, even calling it serial killer behavior! This isn't just a quirky family anecdote—it's a global shift. We're all becoming more like Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez, lamenting, "We don’t talk anymore." It's a sign of the times.

Research shows teens spend an alarming 7 hours and 22 minutes on screens daily, yet only 33 minutes interacting face-to-face. Although 82% of adults recognize personal interaction as crucial for maintaining relationships, only 15% prioritize it. This trend contradicts our core values at My City Merch. We believe personal connections are the heartbeat of community pride and unity, and it's time to act on it.

We're proud to introduce the Disconnect to Reconnect Initiative. Our mission is simple: encourage everyone to put down their phones and engage in real conversations. By donating 5% of all sales, we support local community events, workshops, and programs designed to revive genuine in-person interactions. It's our way of giving back and making a difference.

Through this initiative, we aim to create spaces where people feel comfortable disconnecting from their screens and reconnecting with each other. Imagine neighborhood gatherings where stories are shared, laughter echoes, and new friendships are forged. By investing in our communities, we are investing in a brighter, more connected future. Join us in building stronger bonds.
