OUR COMMUNITY
#StillwaterStrong
is more than just a hashtag. Our community has had more than its fair share of tragedy and obstacles to
overcome
. While we learn how to handle a new pandemic alongside the rest of the world, we know how to make the best of every situation because, well, that's what we've been doing for years. We've seen businesses come together in
innovative
ways, leaders rising to the occasion, and our community members'
resilience
shine. COVID-19 is no exception. We've already seen Stillwater coming together (from a distance) to positively impact the situation:
Stillwater Screenprinting
has created a t-shirt campaign to help local businesses during a time of uncertainty. Each shirt sale gives $10 to a small business of your choosing. Check out the awesome t-shirts
here
.
Various neighborhoods have been
"Small Businessed:"
Residents are leaving gift cards to local businesses in each other's mailboxes, on front porches, and on car windshields. The idea is to encourage a "chain reaction" of gift card buying. If you need
ideas
for gift cards, visit our
membership directory
! (If your business doesn't yet offer gift cards as an option, learn how to start
here
.)
In accordance with the City of Stillwater's
Shelter in Place Proclamation
, our upcoming events through
April 16
will be postponed. Our team is also preparing for this date to be extended and looking at alternative dates and event formats to make sure we provide the
services we promised
when you joined the Chamber. Our
commitment
to using our resources in a strategic way to benefit our business community remains unchanged. Sponsors of upcoming events can expect to hear from us soon as we navigate the best way to
support
your business needs.
