While we have been encouraging people to “Shop Hyperlocal” and support our local businesses, we haven’t lost sight of the fact that this is the season of giving. So we’ve compiled a list of ways that you can “Give Hyperlocal” — with a focus on those organizations that give so much to our community, and could use our help. This list is by no means comprehensive — if we’ve missed a worthy Edmonds-based “good cause,” please include it in the comments section or email it to teresa@myedmondsnews.com.
