2025 Chamber Holiday Food & Supply Drive
Thursday, November 20, 2025
It was an incredible outpouring of support at the 6th Annual Chamber Holiday Food & Supply Drive! From early morning drop-offs at Cadillac Bar to the joyful community gathering at Eureka Heights, this year’s Drive was our biggest and most impactful yet.
Because of the generosity of our community and sponsors, we were able to raise nearly $35k in food, supplies and donations to support LGBTQ+ unhoused youth.
Special shoutout to CORT, our amazing Impact Partner, for stepping up to house donations giving Tony’s Place time to sort through 12 full pallets of supplies—courtesy of Amazon!
🙏 A heartfelt THANK YOU to our sponsors, collection sites, donors, and volunteers who helped make this another successful year. We are truly grateful for your generosity and commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness.
With your support, we collected a mountain of donations for LGBTQ+ youth who need us now more than ever.
Every box. Every bag. Every volunteer moment. It all added up to something powerful. And we are so proud to lead this effort in support of our Chamber Member nonprofit member, Tony’s Place, which provides safety, services, and support to LGBTQ+ youth who are unhoused or at risk.
Take a look at the snapshot of the day in the video below.
