Community Impact: Making a difference in our community is our driving force.
Community Giving: Giving back is at the heart of everything we do.
Annual Projects: Our annual member projects are near and dear to our hearts.
Since 1951, the Women’s Division Chamber of Commerce has been raising funds to support local non-profits, award student scholarships, lead community beautification projects, and so much more. Inspired by the One Drop philosophy - that small efforts when combined can create extraordinary accomplishments - over 200 volunteers dedicate countless hours to planning, organizing, and hosting events that bring lasting change to west Michigan.
Our Impact
We are proud to be known for putting the FUN in fundraising! In the past 12 years, WDCC has donated over $2 million back into the community. Our signature events, which sell out year after year, include:
Dancing with the Local Stars
Fashion & Frolic
Trinkets & Treasures
Monthly Gifting
Giving back is at the heart of everything we do. Each month, WDCC awards grants to local non-profits, providing vital support where it’s needed most. In our last fiscal year alone, we gave back more than $343,515 to organizations making a difference in West Michigan.
At the heart of the Women’s Division Chamber of Commerce is our commitment to giving back. Through our Community Giving program, we provide grants monthly to local non-profits that make a meaningful difference in west Michigan. From supporting essential services to uplifting programs that strengthen families, education, and community well-being, our efforts reflect the belief that every contribution - big or small - creates ripples of positive change. Together, we are building a stronger, more vibrant community.
Community Giving
Annual Projects
Beyond our major fundraising efforts, the WDCC is dedicated to hands-on projects that directly touch the lives in our community. From hosting fun social events, to Adopt-A-Senior at Christmas, decorating the historic Hackley House Parlor, and supporting the Power of Produce Club, our members pour creativity and care into every detail. These traditions reflect our passion for service and showcase how small acts of kindness, repeated year after year, add up to a lasting legacy of community connection.
Adopt-A-Senior
WDCC members purchase 180+ Christmas gifts for residents in area nursing homes each year. The beautifully wrapped gifts make the residents feel special. It is the highlight of our year and a blessing for the WDCC Elves who deliver them.
Hackley House Parlor Decorating
Travel back in time to see the Hackley House in 19th century style. Our members help decorate the parlors for Christmas each year. You can tour the Hackley House during the holidays!

Power of Produce Club
The Power Of Produce Club is a nationally recognized program to empower kids to make healthy food choices. WDCC volunteers contribute over 150 hours at the Muskegon Farmers' Market each summer to help kids enrolled in the program.
Item of the Month Program
Our Item-of-the-Month Program is a volunteer program where our members generously donate small items that are requested by local non-profits: school supplies, snacks for after school programs, personal care items, pet supplies, and more. In December, we have our Adopt-a-Senior Program and August is host to our Member Memorial Scholarship Program.
