A Season of Giving, A Season of Gratitude 

As you make your way to the Holiday finish line, you will be asked by many of the organizations that take care of so many people to make a donation before the end of the year.  You most likely have your own charities that have personal meaning to you, but we offer up to you a list of the many non-profits that are Lafayette Chamber members.

Consider making a difference for someone!
