The Gardendale Chamber of Commerce wanted to welcome those who will be staying in local hotels while visiting The World Games. Heather Lebischak, Executive Director of the Gardendale Chamber, said the Chamber was “searching for ways to show a little Southern hospitality – Gardendale Style.”

“The Chamber was overwhelmed by the response from the community,” said Lebischak. The bags include everything from local coupons and hand sanitizer to gift cards that were donated by Chamber members. Chamber members and local youth volunteers worked to stuff the 1,000 bags with the Gardendale welcome items.
