Recognizing, honoring, and supporting service in our community!

As we work through supporting our families, friends, and neighbors during these unprecedented times, it’s clear that the Community Champions who have been on the frontlines for all of us include not only first responders but also frontline healthcare, education, childcare, and other essential workers. To help recognize their ongoing efforts, the Durham Chamber is excited to present our annual First Responders and Community Champions Appreciation as a remote opportunity for members, businesses, groups, and individuals to show your gratitude.

The Durham Chamber will facilitate meal deliveries and gift cards from local restaurants to recipients starting the week of September 11th and supporters at any level will be invited to a virtual event on Wednesday, September 30th at 9:15 a.m. to celebrate what we accomplish together. 

Join us as we support our local Durham restaurants while saying Thank You to those who work to protect, serve, and make our community a better place to be.
