Members Helping

Members Program

Due to COVID-19, we’ve received a spike in requests from small business members who are struggling to renew their dues. We are asking members who are in a positive position to consider providing assistance through our “Members Helping Members” program.

Here’s how you can help members in need as we weather the pandemic: • Consider donating $310 (our basic small business membership), or your own specified amount, along with your annual dues payment. You’ll see a “Members Helping

Members” line on your invoice or when you pay online. Any funds will go toward covering the dues of a member who simply can’t renew this year. • Go anytime to cantonchamber.org/members-helping-members to donate. We’d like to give a special thanks to these companies who have donated and helped save the Chamber memberships of small businesses:

SCSC Webinar:

Wellness ResouRces in staRk county

This month’s VIRTUAL Safety Council meeting will feature Jared Shive, Public Relations Coordinator from Stark Parks. Employees who are healthy and well are more likely to be motivated and engaged on the job. As a result they will function more safely and take less time off due to illness. Jared will share a multitude of Wellness Resources located in Stark County. Stark Parks provides incredible opportunities to hike, bike, horseback ride, fish, boat, participate in programs or workshops, and make a difference through volunteering. Find out how you and your employees can enjoy 15 parks, 125+ miles of trails, and 4 lakes that are improving the quality of life in Stark County.

NEW: At the end of the every webinar we will award one attendee a $25 Gift Card! Winner MUST be present.

Thursday, July 8 11 am - Noon Cost: FREE Register at www.CantonChamber.org All our welcome: you do NOT need to be a Stark County Safety Council member to attend.
