Eau Claire Chamber Groups Give Back

The Young Professionals of the Chippewa Valley sponsored two families this year and donated hygiene supplies to the Homeless Children Program through ECASD. Money for these items were made possible by member donations and money raised by YP's volunteering at different events. $1,200.00 was spent.

The Eau Claire Chamber Ambassadors donated money or purchased gifts for a needy family of four. The family will receive more than $400 in needed items.

If you see anyone from these two groups, give them a high-five for their generosity!
