South Valley Gives: A Taste of Home
Please join us for a special Let’s Do Lunch, as we commemorate America250 through a meaningful service project: assembling "A Taste of Home" care packages for active-duty service members. Spend time giving back to those who serve our country, reminding them that they are supported by their community at home.
Working together in an assembly-line format, attendees will help pack care packages that the South Valley Chamber will send to active-duty service members. Along the way, you'll connect with fellow Chamber members while making a meaningful impact through service.
