Here’s a friendly reminder to support our amazing local businesses— and one of the easiest ways to do that is with Chamber Bucks.
Chamber Bucks can be purchased in any amount and work just like a gift card at over 25 participating businesses throughout our community. By choosing Chamber Bucks, you’re not just buying a gift—you’re making an investment in Jackson County. The goal of this program is simple: encourage everyone to SHOP LOCAL. Every Chamber Buck spent stays right here at home, helping our local economy grow and thrive.
Stop by the Chamber office to purchase yours today. Let’s keep Jackson County strong—one local purchase at a time.
Members, if you’re active on Facebook and have news, events, or promotions you’d like us to share, just tag us in your post or email us. We’re happy to help spread the word and support your efforts! Let’s work together to keep our community connected and informed.
