During the holiday season, annual gatherings and traditions commence, all centered around coming together with loved ones to make memories and share gifts and holiday cheer. This year, we propose giving gifts that are sourced sustainably and locally, whether through your own thoughtful choices at small businesses or by selecting eco-friendly gifts.
In this issue, we reached out to local artisans and businesses who shared their sustainable holiday gift ideas and philanthropic missions. The inspiring stories of their business mantra, purpose and products show commitment to the community, just like the sustainable gifts they offer. Jump ahead to page 29 to read more on our gift ideas that give back to the environment and community.
Looking for creative inspiration to stimulate your artistic side while enjoying a sense of community? Check out this month’s People & Places, on page 12, where we meet the owners behind Lancaster’s new community center: West Art.
Lastly, I’d like to introduce a new member of the Susquehanna Style team, our new editor, Katy Shero. Please feel free to reach out to Katy with community news and story ideas! Get to know her on the adjacent page. We hope you savor all the season has to offer and wish you a joyous and sustainable holiday!
