Finally, when you shop local not only are you are contributing to the local economy, but you are supporting your local communities as many of our local businesses give back. For example, Soupa Cafe, through The Gift of Music campaign every December, fundraise for used guitars and re-home them to children. When you order from Singing Bowl Granola for only $7.00 you can add any box of granola to your order, and they will donate it to a local food bank. As well, this Friday they will be donating 100% of their online sales to www.raventrust.com. And that’s only two examples, there are so many more!

From the Island Good family have a lovely holiday season and enjoy your local treats!
