SFR The Fork

This week in the Reporter.

Publisherโ€™s Note

This week, your SFR includes something special: our new holiday Gift & Giving Guide. As a small business ourselves, we know how hard it is to make ends meet โ€“ and how much we count on local support to keep things going.

This new guide (hopefully an annual one, if you like it!) showcases holiday offerings from local businesses and profiles of some of our local heroes and helpers whose work helping others deserves a little attention (and, hopefully, a year end donation from your piggy bank) on Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday.

To make room for all that local extra love, some of our regular SFR print features including 7 Days and 3 Questions are online-only at sfreporter.com this issue. Our next print issue will be on stands Dec. 3 and we have online extras every week until then.

Of course, if you have a local business or cause you want to share with our readers, we have three more issues before the year comes to a close. Reach out to Juan at juan@sfreporter.com or 505-300-4087 to reserve your print or online space.
