Annual Projects - special causes that are dear to our hearts and are all made possible by the generosity of our members:
Adopt-A-Senior
WDCC members purchased 181 Christmas gifts for residents in area nursing homes this year. The beautifully wrapped gifts make the seniors feel special. It is the highlight of our year and a blessing for the WDCC Elves who deliver them.
Gifts are to be wrapped or bagged with the tag carefully taped/secured.
Bring the gift to the December GMM/Holiday Party.
If you cannot attend the GMM, contact Dianne Bernd to arrange a pick-up.
Thank you, Dianne Bernd and all the Elves, for doing this year after year!

Item of the Month Program
Our Item-of-the-Month Program is a volunteer program where our members generously donate small items that are requested by local non-profits: school supplies, snacks for after school programs, personal care items, pet supplies, and more. December is our Adopt-a-Senior Program and August is our Member Memorial Scholarship Program.
Women’s Division Chamber of Commerce (WDCC) is a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit organization founded in 1951 to promote our community and create civic awareness. Today, this group of over 200 women continues that legacy by working together to make a difference. WDCC holds several annual events and granted more than $291,904.70 to local non-profit organizations and area projects this past year.
