The 2025 Outstanding Chamber of the Year was on site yesterday to volunteer at First Presbyterian Church of Willoughby to volunteer for their Agape Feast as part of our Chamber Cares initiative presented by Silco Inc and Olympus Aerospace! Thank you to our volunteers who donated their time to this wonderful, monthly dinner hosted by First Presbyterian Church. It was great to meet new people and make a positive impact in our community!
