Deciding what to do about holiday gifts is difficult at a time when we know we need to cut back on buying things we don’t need. The most sustainable option is to give experiences (like gift cards to your favorite local restaurant or membership to a museum) or products that do not create waste.
But another way to look at gift-giving is to see how your dollars can support the small businesses that employ local people and keep our communities strong.
If you are going to spend money, please spend it with small local businesses whose owners are not faraway corporations, but neighbors in our own communities who need our support this year more than ever.
Give a gift that gives twice!
The featured businesses below are members of All Together Now PA and/or our affiliated organization the Circle of Aunts & Uncles. Also included is a longer list of local small businesses that we think are worth checking out. Many of these companies manufacture their goods in Pennsylvania. Some are Black-owned, most are women-owned, and all are locally owned.
