Community Impact Day is an annual initiative designed to bring businesses and residents together for a day of giving back, support and transformation. It will be held in Panora Wednesday, April 30 with a rain date of Wednesday, May 7.

“Community Impact Day is more than just a day of service. It’s our Chamber’s way of physically showing our commitment to making Panora a better place to live, work, play and stay,” Panora Chamber Coordinator Erica Matthies said.

The Panora Chamber of Commerce is teaming with Panorama Community Schools to complete projects. Residents and local Chamber businesses can submit project needs, which may include projects like elderly assistance with flowerbeds, business exterior painting, single-mom landscaping, parks and rec maintenance, etc.

A committee will review submissions to determine if they have the manpower, expertise and/or ability to complete the submitted projects. The project submission deadline is March 30. Submission form is available at this link: Community Impact Day, Submission Form.

“By coming together and investing our time and resources, we’re not only improving our community but also strengthening the bonds between businesses and residents,” Matthies said. “Let’s lead the charge and set the standard for what community engagement looks like. Together, we can make a lasting impact that will resonate for years to come.”
