The LakeView East Chamber of Commerce is even promoting that push with a special gift card! The chamber's executive director, Maureen Martino, joined us in our ABC7 studio to showcase a few examples of gifts you can find at local stores. All the retailers she featured are members of the chamber.
The chamber's gift card is available in any denomination from $5 to $500 or more. It is accepted at more than 150 participating retailers and city parking boxes in the LakeView East neighborhood. Using the card supports the Local First Chicago campaign Unwrap Chicago
