Neighborly Gifts, Mayo Clinic collaborate to support small businesses in MN, WI, FL & AZ

In collaboration with small businesses in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Arizona and Florida, Neighborly Gifts is proud to announce that it is expanding its gifting services ahead of the 2022 holiday season, including the launch of a new Restaurant Voucher Program.

“Small businesses are the lifeblood of any community,” said Sarah Richardson, founder and owner of Neighborly Gifts. “This year we are proud to be able to partner with more businesses in more places than ever before. In doing so, we are empowering thoughtful gift-givers with even greater opportunities to support unique, local businesses in their neighborhoods.”

New for 2022, Neighborly Gifts is:

  • Expanding our services to more communities in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Florida to better serve the gifting needs of Mayo Clinic.

  • Introducing a new Restaurant Voucher Program that allows recipients to redeem their gift of lunch, dinner, or coffee and a pastry at dozens of participating establishments.

  • Updating our holiday gift catalog with hundreds of unique products and experiences from artists, makers, and small businesses.

Neighborly Gifts’ restaurant vouchers can be used at dozens of participating small businesses.

Founded in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic to support small businesses in our hometown of Rochester, MN, Neighborly Gifts (formerly Gift Rochester) has grown into a year-round, custom-gifting service that focuses on circulating dollars back into communities.

Thanks to the support of our corporate partners, Neighborly Gifts has been able to help inject more than $650,000 back into small businesses since 2020. Last year alone, more than 35,000 gifts were sold from 123 small businesses through our platform.

Notable supporters of Neighborly Gifts have included Mayo Clinic, University of Minnesota Rochester, Stencil Group, and Think Bank.
