Tallahassee residents and businesses interested in making a positive difference in the community have the opportunity to participate in the 2018 Summer Fill-A-Truck food and fund drive, taking place now through May 10.

The Summer Fill-A-Truck drive will culminate with a final weigh-in and donation count on Thursday, May 10, at the Tallahassee Democrat, where AMWAT moving trucks will be filled with food donations. During this event, the public is invited to drop off food and fund donations between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Businesses interested in serving as drop off locations, please contact Gloria Pugh at 877-7131.
Why I joined the Chamber
“In my line of work, success is dependent on cultivating relationships, which can be difficult without a common thread on which to build. The Chamber of Commerce has been the common thread that allowed me in the door where I could demonstrate the value I bring to the relationship. I recently began a working relationship with Anna Duren from Walter Green born entirely out of a connection first made by the Chamber. The opportunities afforded by my company’s Chamber membership opened doors for me in ways I have not seen with other business development strategies. In banking, familiarity and trust come first, and that usually has to develop over time. This is why the Chamber works for me – it allows me to dedicate the time and put the relationship before the ask.”
