The Shopping Guide opened the issue with a practical roundup for the holidays, steering readers toward local options and standout gifts that keep spending in the community during the season that matters most to local businesses.
The magazine's Giving Grace feature highlighted the Little Rose Wagon Foundation, a local independent nonprofit — the kind of grassroots cause the magazine liked to put in front of readers at the season of giving. “The Sweet Life” took on a delicious challenge: French macarons, the dainty and notoriously difficult meringue confections that reward patience with something beautiful. “Talk of the Town” brought Mayor Joe Pitts into the conversation on what had the city buzzing, and a Holiday Safety Tips for Your Pet feature reminded families to keep their animals safe.
The recurring departments round out a December number that balances generosity, indulgence and civic pulse — shop local, support a grassroots cause, master a difficult confection, keep the pets safe, and catch up on what has the city talking, a warm close to the year.
The month's Giving Grace feature highlighted the Little Rose Wagon Foundation, a local independent nonprofit that provides financial assistance and educational resources to single mothers pursuing a college degree or technical certificate. The foundation partners with companies, governments, nonprofits and other organizations to address the complex challenges single mothers face — and the magazine's spotlight, arriving at the season of giving, was meant to raise both awareness and revenue for a cause where a little help at the right moment can change a whole family's trajectory for good, one degree or certificate at a time.
