The Chamber Bucks program is an economic development program that encourages consumers to shop locally which strengthens our economy and supports business growth. Consumers use them as gift certificates at participating Chamber Member locations and those Chamber Members are reimbursed by the Chamber. 

These Bucks make a great gift for any occasion, employee incentive reward, or prize for any competition. Chamber Bucks are available in denominations of $10, $20, $30, and $50 printed and stamped with our corporate seal to prevent counterfeiting. Chamber Bucks are valid for one year from the date of purchase.
