The East Side of Providence has always been more than a collection of shops. It's a neighborhood built on creativity, care and community. This holiday season, that sense of connection matters more than ever.

If you're looking for meaningful gifts while supporting local businesses, these East Side and other Providence businesses are offering gift cards, online ordering and thoughtful ways to shop safely and intentionally. Whether it's a last-minute stocking stuffer, a cozy treat or a gift that gives back, every purchase helps keep these small businesses thriving.

See below for all of GoPVD's East Side dining, shopping and attractions partners. Further down the page, please check out the list curated by Christine Chitnis, a Providence-based writer and photographer, with ways to support other local businesses in the next few weeks.
