TRACF, Chamber, TRDDA partner for gift card promotion to support Three Rivers businesses

The Three Rivers Area Chamber of Commerce, Three Rivers Downtown Development Authority, and Three Rivers Area Community Foundation have announced the forthcoming launch of a $20 for $20 Gift Card Promotion for locally owned small businesses in Three Rivers. The promotion is expected to launch Friday, May 8 and end on May 31.

According to a release from the Three Rivers Area Community Foundation, when a donation is made through the foundation for a $20 gift card, the organization will provide the purchaser with an additional FREE $20 gift card for the same business, providing “a great way to help and support locally owned small businesses.”

The foundation’s $5,000 donation will cover the purchase of 250 matching gift cards potentially creating an additional $10,000 spent in the community. 

Starting Friday, May 8 at 12 p.m. individuals can visit www.threeriversfoundation.com and make a $20 donation to get a gift card from a participating business and the foundation will match your $20 donation with an identical gift card of the same value.
