Local Lift: Carla’s Shear Inspiration Inc., Toppins, Caribbean Lunchbox, & Jimmy’s Auto Detailing & Headlight Restoration GIVEAWAY (Ended)
So many of our cherished local businesses here on Whidbey Island have faced incredible challenges as a result of COVID-19 closures. Either businesses have had to temporarily close, or they’ve needed to significantly change the way they operate on a daily basis.
To try and help the local business community, in our Local Lift series, each week we are doing a small business “boost” and purchasing items (services, gift cards, etc.) to give away to Whidbey Island locals!

This week’s giveaway includes:
TWO $70 gift cards to Carla’s Shear Inspiration Inc.
TWO $25 gift cards to Toppins
TWO $50 gift cards to Caribbean Lunchbox
TWO $250 gift cards for a car detail to Jimmy’s Auto Detailing & Headlight Restoration
