This holiday season, Atira is encouraging everyone to support local businesses in a meaningful way. By shopping locally, consumers not only find unique and thoughtful gifts but also contribute to the growth of small businesses and the local economy. Through its social enterprise, East Van Roasters (EVR), Atira provides career training for women and femme-identifying individuals facing barriers to employment in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Each purchase from EVR – whether it's freshly roasted coffee or bean-to-bar chocolate – plays a crucial role in empowering individuals and supporting the community. By choosing to shop local, customers are helping to create lasting change and strengthen the bonds within the local economy. Atira invites everyone to make a difference this holiday season by supporting local businesses that foster growth and empowerment. Visit EVR to shop for gifts that give back, and help create a brighter, more inclusive future. #TisTheSeasonToSupport #SupportLocal #HolidayGiving #ShopLocal #EmpowerWomen #BreakBarriers #EastVanRoasters #SupportSmallBusiness #CommunityStrength #GiftsThatGiveBack
