A Message from the Pierre Area Chamber of Commerce
At this time of social distancing, it is imperative that the community stay educated and informed. It is also important to us that you know the Chamber is here for you, your family, business/organization and our community. We are available via phone, email and Facebook.

The South Dakota Department of Health has been keeping the public updated on guidelines and best practices through their website covid.sd.gov.  You can also call the South Dakota Helpline center at 211 for free and confidential resources or text 'Notify pierrearea' to 313131 to opt-in to Chamber communications.

While most events have been cancelled or postponed to a later date, the Chamber will continue with our weekly What's Happening email with as much up-to-date information that we have, as well as include resource information to help everyone get through this difficult and uncertain time. We are all in this together.
Business Resources

Assist the Pierre Area Chamber in Feeding the Frontline during this unprecedented time! While the general public is encouraged to self quarantine and self distance, our healthcare workers, grocery store staff, police, firefighters and more are serving our communities on the frontline.
We are encouraging individuals and families to invest in the Chamber, as we invest in those on the frontlines of COVID-19. When you become a  #Loyal2Local member, we will use 100% of those dollars to purchase giftcards from Chamber member businesses to feed and/or assist the frontline in their endeavors.
