Annual community giveback

Grateful Hearts

A Sunday in November when the chamber and 200+ member volunteers distribute Thanksgiving meals, essentials kits, and basic-needs supplies to West Valley families.

What it is

Grateful Hearts is the chamber's flagship community giveback. Each November, we partner with the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Valley, Tarzana Treatment Centers, and the Topanga LAFD station to assemble and distribute Thanksgiving meal kits and essentials boxes to West Valley families navigating tough seasons.

How to participate

Sponsor: Meal-kit sponsorship ($1,000 = 50 family meals, branded), site sponsorship ($5,000 = full distribution location with logo). 100% of sponsorship dollars go to the program — the chamber covers admin in-house.
