Food Basket Program 2017

WDCCC Holiday Food Basket Program
The West O Chamber Food Basket Program begins its yearly initiative during the holidays to benefit those in need in our neighboring communities.

Cash donations made will help purchase turkey, ham, dressing, potatoes, and gravy for every Food Basket. Last year with the help of many volunteers and businesses, the donations received during the food drive were able to feed approximately 500 families within the Elkhorn, Bennington, Waterloo, and Valley area. The Western Douglas Chamber of Commerce extends its thanks to everyone who continues to help make this event a success.
