ABC7: Unique gifting ideas that support local businesses

12/7/2020

The holiday shopping season is well upon us, but there is still plenty of time to find the perfect gift.

Debi Lilly, Chief Eventeur with A Perfect Event, shared her recommendations for gifts that support local small businesses and give back.

Green City Market is offering a way to shop local right from your home.

The market has created Home For the Holidays Gift Boxes, full of local-sourced products.

There are four boxes available. Each features different products, from ingredients to make a charcuterie board, to having brunch at home.

Green City Market works to support food insecurity in Chicago. One of the gift boxes will provide donations to Lakeview Pantry.

Boxes range from $38-98, depending on the option you choose.

They're available for home delivery or curbside pick-up on December 9, 16, and 22.

The boxes can be delivered anywhere in Chicago or picked up at Green City Market's Office, located at 3401 N. California Ave.
