As an avid reader of Edible Boston and Edible Worcester, we know you already go out of your way to frequent local businesses all year long.

But this holiday season, it’s even more important to SHOP SMALL.

Our second annual Local Holiday Gift Guide has something for everyone on your list: We’ve got farm shares and food delivery services, tabletop décor, apparel and soaps, beekeeping services, gourmet specialty foods, cooking classes, treats for your four-legged friends, coffees, teas, wine & spirits, ready-made gift baskets and so much more. Order safely online, arrange for home delivery or schedule curbside pick-up—send a little cheer to your loved ones near and far while supporting your community and keeping your dollars local.

As the COVID-19 pandemic reminds us, safe and accessible food isn’t always attainable, and many of our neighbors are in desperate need this winter season. In addition to supporting local businesses for all your gifting needs, we hope you’ll consider devoting some of your holiday budget to local nonprofits on the front lines feeding the hungry and homebound.

Massachusetts is home to hundreds, if not thousands of these philanthropic organizations, like the Greater Boston Food Bank, Worcester County Food Bank, Lovin’ Spoonfuls, Community Servings, the Boston Area Gleaners, Growing Places, Project Restore Us, Off Their Plate, Open Table, Food Link and so many more.

From our family to yours, we wish you health and happiness during this holiday season.
