The Chamber’s annual coupon book is produced as a fundraising tool for non-profit organizations in our community, such as schools, churches, athletic teams and charitable organizations to utilize each year. It is distributed to over 5,000 households.
The non-profit organizations in our community work every day to educate our youth, create a sense of community and serve the less fortunate. They do all of this with limited resources and small staffs, so the support of the local community is critical to their ability to continue their work. The majority of the proceeds from this book are contributed to area non-profits.
