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 buy Christmas gifts for residents in area nursing homes. 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.
At the November GMM, you will be able to select one or more name tags, each with a name of a nursing home resident. On the tag will be listed their wishes or needs, along with sizing. You can choose to buy one or all the items on the list.
Gifts are to be wrapped or bagged with the tag carefully taped/secured.
Bring the gift to the December GMM/Holiday Party so the Elves can deliver them the following day.
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!

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.
