Local Businesses Join Together To Serve Those In Need

As the holidays near, many local families are struggling to make ends meet. In response, Strandz & Company Salon, in partnership with the Payson Santaquin Chamber of Commerce, has launched a Holiday Food Drive to support those in need.

Local businesses, schools, and residents are encouraged to help by donating non-perishable foods, baby formula, or raffle prizes—or by hosting their own collection drives. All proceeds go directly to local families, providing nutritious meals and essential items for children.

Community partners such as Strandz & Company, Tabitha’s Way, and Payson High School are already leading the way. Join them in spreading kindness and hope this holiday season.

Add your support here by sending us your initiative and volunteer needs.

Help Make Christmas Brighter for Local Families!

The Payson Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce is proud to support Payson High School’s Sub for Santa program, known as Penny Wars — a student-led effort that helps provide Christmas for PHS families in need.

Last year, the students raised $10,000 and brought holiday cheer to 11 families — about 55 people in our community. This year, they’re hoping to make an even bigger impact, and our local businesses can help make that happen!

Every dollar counts — 100% of donations go directly toward gifts, essentials, and holiday meals for families right here in Payson.
