The Milton-Freewater Chamber Downtown Alliance has been awarded a $10,000 Oregon Community Foundation grant.
The grant will be used for general operating support, helping the downtown alliance for its daily operations that do not entice sponsorship.
The Walla Walla Valley Chamber of Commerce recently became a partner association of Business Health Trust, an employee benefits provider for small and mid-size businesses in Washington.
Chamber of commerce members can now join the more than 1,000 employers in Washington that use Business Health Trust.
“This partnership aligns with our mission to support local businesses and improve the economic vitality of our community,” chamber CEO Arlene Alen said. “By offering our members access to top-tier benefit solutions, we are helping them attract and retain talented employees, ultimately contributing to their growth and success.”
