Giving gifts is one of the best parts of this time of year, and giving back to the community is equally as important and exciting! These are all ways that you can give back to the community this holiday season at Devonshire! 

Shop small

Everyone is in gifting and spending mode this time of year, and doing your holiday shopping locally not only directly helps the shop owners but supports the local economy. This can have a bigger impact on small business than you may realize, and  the personal touch that comes with purchasing gifts from a smaller, local business cannot be duplicated in large stores. Any and all gifts you purchase from small businesses are sure to be appreciated by anyone who receives them, and may even give the local shops more customers in the future. 

Find local charities to give to

There is never a bad time to give to charity, but this time of year is a time when people are looking to give a bit more than usual. Finding local charities to give to is a way to give back to your community, and often, you are able to see the impact of your generosity in the community where you live. Another way you can give to local charities is to give your time. There are many avenues to explore when volunteering, from local animal shelters, to parks, food pantries, libraries and anything in between! 

Pay it forward

The next time you go holiday shopping, go on your morning coffee run, or fill up at the gas pump, purchasing the order of the person behind or in front of you could not only make someone’s day better, but could make a difference in their holiday shopping in general. Every penny counts for many people this time of year, and paying it forward is just one way you can spread holiday cheer in your community this year!
