2024 Better Together Gift Card Campaign
This holiday season, Capitol Hill’s small businesses are joining forces to share the joy and support one another with the Better Together gift card promotion. From November 29th to December 1st, when you shop at a participating small business, you’ll receive a gift card to another local spot, bringing a little extra cheer to your holiday shopping. With qualifying purchases across all participating locations, you could walk away with gifts from up to 30 unique vendors, each hoping to bring a delightful experience to your holiday season.
Every purchase during Better Together means your holiday dollars stay right here in the community. These businesses are Capitol Hill’s backbone, quietly supporting local Little League teams, veterans’ groups, school bands, DC teachers, and many other important causes. When you shop local, you’re helping to sustain the heart of our community.
