This is the philanthropic initiative of the 9th Island Chamber of Commerce and Foundation, dedicated to strengthening the community through generosity, service, and collaboration. As a central hub for giving back, 702 Cares brings together businesses, community leaders, and residents to support meaningful causes that uplift and empower the 9th Island community.

Through 702 Cares, members and partners are connected to a wide range of charitable opportunities, including volunteer engagement, scholarship programs, fundraising campaigns, and community-driven projects. The initiative works closely with local nonprofits, schools, and grassroots organizations to identify critical needs and mobilize resources where they can make the greatest impact. By aligning time, talent, and financial support, 702 Cares helps ensure that community efforts are intentional, effective, and sustainable.

At its core, 702 Cares is about fostering a culture of service and shared responsibility. The initiative encourages businesses and individuals to take an active role in supporting the community, strengthening relationships, and building a sense of unity and pride. By serving as a bridge between those who want to give back and the organizations doing vital work, 702 Cares amplifies collective efforts and expands the reach of every contribution.
