Molly Gebler from the Chagrin Valley Chamber joins us for this episode to talk about injecting good into the community. This year of 2020 has brought problems and heartache to many people around the world, which is why the world needs people like Molly Gebler to help showcase the good!
In our discussion, Molly shares two very positive initiatives that their Chamber has been the driver for. One is a program where the Chamber sponsors a local non-profit for the year. The Chamber provides funding to the non-profit and they help to organize volunteers to serve the non-profit of choice. This year the chosen non-profit was their local food bank. Molly shares the story of the huge outpouring of care in their community to support those in their community who needed their help in a time of crisis through a food drive.
The other program that Molly highlights is what she calls a gift card extravaganza. With this program, the Chamber promotes and sells gift cards for local service or retail companies or restaurants and for a certain dollar amount of gift cards purchased, the Chamber gifts the buyer an additional dollar amount in gift cards to the same business. This program sold out of gift cards in the first 15 minutes! It was so successful that the Chamber is going to do it again and will be pledging more money in gift cards to put more money back into the hands of the businesses that they work so hard to support.
