Support Local. Support Wasilla.
Every purchase. Every visit. Every recommendation. It all adds up.
When you support local businesses, you're investing in the people, jobs, ideas, and organizations that make the Greater Wasilla area a great place to live, work, and do business.
READY TO SUPPORT LOCAL?
More than 300 businesses and organizations call the Greater Wasilla Chamber home. Find your next restaurant, contractor, retailer, professional service, nonprofit, attraction and more.
LOCAL IS MORE THAN WHERE YOU SHOP.
It’s where we eat. Where we work. Who we call when we need help. Where we celebrate. And who steps up when our community needs support. The Greater Wasilla Chamber encourages our community to shop local, dine local, hire local, refer local, and experience local.
THINK LOCAL FIRST.
Before you click “buy.”
Before you drive to Anchorage.
Before you search outside the Valley.
Take one more look right here at home.
Because supporting local isn't just about one shopping day or one event.
It's a habit that builds a stronger Greater Wasilla.
