Never heard of this, but from the name I'm guessing someone is encouraging people to shop at their local stores? Nice idea. I like to do that anyway, when possible.
I am. We are fortunate to have some great local businesses nearby, and their customer service far exceeds what we've experienced at the equivalent big chain stores.
Also, if you're an AmEx cardholder, they're offering a $25 statement credit when you spend $25 at a participating small business location, so it's like getting $25 free (if there's anything you were going to buy anyway, at least!):
The thing is; I already shop at small businesses. I never visit Walmart and probably hit up Target less than once a year. This entire concept of this event makes no sense to me. Ask people who don't care about local businesses to participate for one day and then carry on not caring afterwards?

Where do you purchase groceries? Do you have a local grocery store? What about paper products and cleaning supplies?

I pretty much shop in downtown Princeton and Hamilton. Since I live on farmland, I use my crops to barter with neighboring farmers (I don't grow food meant for human consumption). I get milk and many other items at Halo Farm in Trenton.
I buy things that I can't find locally at Staples (paper goods and cleaning supplies) and Whole Foods (organic food).
