We try to incorporate sustainability into all we do and believe small practices can make for a better future. Here are 7 things we do with getting our R+D products to your doorstep:

Local news outlet Sunnyside Post covered Sunnyside Shine's virtual pop-up market taking place to promote local restaurants that plan to offer food specials on Valentine’s Day–as well as business owners who will be selling special gift items. R+D was a part of this event and included in their coverage. Read the full article here. 

From Sunnyside Post: "A Valentine’s Day-inspired initiative kicked off Wednesday that encourages residents to shop locally in order to help small businesses generate some much-needed cash. "The city-wide initiative, called the Sweethearts Shop Local Program, calls on the public to show their “love and support” for small businesses by purchasing their products and then promoting the items online by leaving positive reviews."

This year, Made in Queens invited R+D to participate in a special Valentine’s Day event. #SmallBusinessSweetie is a citywide initiative reminding all of us to show our local manufacturers love as we shop for our sweethearts.

Sunnyside Shines is our local Business Improvement District and works to invigorate and enrich the economic life of the neighborhood by creating a safe, welcoming and dynamic commercial district. They put together a gift guide with local storefronts and makers, including R+D.
