Some of our favorite Bay Area small businesses are now together, in one place! The new local guide “Shop the Bay”

As you probably know, we are part of the San Francisco Economic Development Alliance (SFEDA), and as a group that advocates for local small business entrepreneurs, we have decided to launch a new small business guide: Shop the Bay!

The first edition of Shop the Bay includes over 40 small businesses, owned by underserved entrepreneurs, including small businesses owned by Women, Latinx, BIPOC, and AAPI.

The giving season is fast approaching and soon, many will get ready to make their purchases. Shop the Bay is part of our effort to stir the demand for holiday gifts towards our extraordinary community of San Francisco’s Bay Area small business entrepreneurs.

In this guide, you will find:

  • Year-end gifts for staff

  • Thank you gifts for board members

  • Goods for corporate holiday baskets

  • Holiday party favors

  • Gratitude gifts for nonprofit funders and high-level donors

  • Volunteer appreciation gifts

  • Surprise gifts for key consultants and contractors

Check out Shop the Bay guide now and find an array of extraordinary globally-inspired products, artisan goods and environmentally-minded brands, all created by Bay Area underserved small business owners. 

Thank you for shopping local and small! Only together can we truly support our Bay Area community of small business entrepreneurs.
