As Veterans Day approaches, we want to pause and recognize the men and women in our community who have served our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and steady commitment to protecting our freedoms deserve more than a simple thank you. They deserve our respect, our support, and our continued gratitude long after the holiday passes.

Worth County is home to many veterans and military families, and their impact reaches far beyond their service. They strengthen our workforce, our neighborhoods, and the values we share as a community.

We hope everyone will take a moment this week to thank a veteran, reach out to someone who served, or simply reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of them.

To all who served, thank you. Your dedication means more than we can express, and our Chamber is proud to stand alongside a community that honors you not just today, but every day.

We're refreshing our Ambassador and Advocate Program. If you enjoy connecting with local businesses and helping our community grow, we'd love to have you involved. Volunteering with the Chamber is a great way to make a real impact and help us take 2026 to the next level.

If you're interested or want to learn more, give us a call or stop by the office. We'd be excited to welcome you to the team!



Chamber Food Drive Initiative
Help Us Feed 100 Families! 

The Sylvester-Worth County Chamber of Commerce is teaming up with local volunteers and businesses to host a community food drive — and we need your help!

Our goal is to create 100 boxed meals for families in need right here in Worth County. We’ll be collecting nonperishable food donations from November 3–19, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. at the Chamber office.

We’re asking for quality, shelf-stable items that make real, balanced meals — not just pantry fillers. Every can and box matters, but we’re hoping for items that truly help families enjoy a full meal together.

📦 Great items to donate:

• Canned vegetables (green beans, corn, spinach, etc.)

• Canned fruit in juice (peaches, pears, pineapple)

• Boxed mashed potatoes or rice

• Canned meats (chicken, tuna, beef stew, chili)

• Boxed macaroni & cheese

• Pasta & pasta sauce

• Peanut butter & jelly

• Soup or canned ravioli

• Breakfast items (grits, oatmeal packets, cereal)

• Shelf-stable milk or juice boxes

• Crackers or granola bars

We’re also accepting holiday-style foods like stuffing mix, gravy, or dessert mixes to make the boxes extra special.

💛 Every item donated goes directly to local families — sorted and packed by our amazing volunteers.
Let’s show what Worth County can do when we come together!
