Chamber News & Events

Volunteers Needed!

Volunteers are needed to help pick up trash along village streets and public green spaces! Coffee and donuts, provided by Scoop Du Jour, and trash bags provided by Masco Packaging & Janitorial Supplies, will be provided. Even if you can only give an hour of your time, it will be time well spent helping friends and neighbors clean up our community and make a difference.


This is a great opportunity for students, scouts, and church groups to earn community project service hours.


Volunteers are reminded to bring gloves. Please wear bright colors and comfortable shoes.


For more information, please contact the Chamber at director@chatham-il-chamber.com.
