“We hope the Cincinnati community sees this as an opportunity to support local small businesses in Clifton and get a head start on their Christmas shopping,” said Micah Ovadia, member of the Clifton Business Association and proprietor of The Whole Bowl Cincinnati. “Local businesses need support now more than ever, and we think this is a creative way to give a fun, unique gift while also helping small businesses in our community.”

Gift bags can be purchased at Ludlow Wines at 343 Ludlow Ave from noon to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

Uptown Consortium, Inc. (UCI) connected the Clifton Business Association with Bob Pickford, a business coach at HCDC, Inc., to help set up the Gift in Clifton program.

“Throughout this year, we’ve increased our efforts to help support Uptown small businesses,” said Beth Robinson, President and CEO of UCI. “We’re working with our partners to continue existing programs and establish new programs that help support the businesses in our community through these challenging times.”
