If you buy gift cards to a Monticello business, thanks to a local bank, you can receive up to a $25 match in Monticello Chamber bucks.

The program is thanks to First State Bank of Monticello who received a grant to help stimulate the local economy by matching any gift card purchase up to $25 to local businesses in Chamber bucks. Monticello Chamber Executive Director Shelly Crawford-Stock indicates the program is open to anyone in any community.

According to Crawford-Stock, when you purchase a gift card form a Monticello business, take it to First State Bank of Monticello and they will match your gift card purchase of up to $25 in Chamber bucks.

During the final quarter of the year, the Monticello Chamber is focused on pushing the message of supporting local businesses as many are still in recovery mode from the impacts of the pandemic.
