As we live through the onslaught of holiday promotions, sales and hype, keep in mind that buying from social enterprises is a great way to both support your local economy, buying quality products while helping to provide other social benefits.
Your holiday and seasonal purchases from social enterprises can help provide employment opportunities for individuals marginalized in our communities, support environmentally sound products and services, participate in upcycling and recycling initiatives, or support culture, the arts and recreation.
To find a social enterprise selling goods that you’ll feel proud to give, you can visit the following websites: https://seontario.org/, Buy Social Canada, or the directory at the Centre for Social Enterprise Development (Ottawa)
