The Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce will hold a 12 Days of Christmas Holiday Auction to help support local small businesses.
It will consist of an online silent auction for 12 days, from Nov. 23 through Dec. 4, with donated items, services and experiences. All money raised will go toward small business workshops, events and initiatives.
You can donate a holiday gift, $50 minimum, service, experience or gift card from your business. You can purchase one of those possibilities from a fellow Chamber member and donate or you can write a check to the chamber and the staff will purchase the donation on your behalf. Email Carol Fekaris at the chamber office if you want to make a donation, and thank you for your donations and support.

The Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce has established a new committee, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee that is meeting regularly to determine what the chamber can do to support minority-owned businesses in the Wake Forest area. Access to capital, entrepreneurship training and mentorships are being discussed and planned.
The chamber members can help with a new data base of the minority-owned businesses in the area. Chamber President Ann Welton is asking members to send her the business name, contact name and other information of minority-owned businesses they know of. They do not have to be chamber members.
