🎥 Chamber Chat: Meet Mallory Ekdahl & Support Her Winter Coat Drive! 🧥❄️

We love seeing our community partners invest in the next generation of leaders, and Presque Isle Electric & Gas Co-op (PIE&G) is doing just that through its support of the Youth Leadership Council!

For this edition of Chamber Chat, we sat down with Mallory Ekdahl, an outstanding young leader who is putting her leadership experience into action right here in our community.

As part of her community service project through the Youth Leadership Council, Mallory is organizing a Winter Coat Drive, September 28 through October 9, to help make sure individuals and families in need have something warm to wear as we head into our Northern Michigan winter.

🧥 You can help! Donate new or gently used coats in good condition, in ANY size. Children, teens, adults — every coat can make a difference!

📍 One of the collection locations is right here at the Cheboygan Area Chamber of Commerce, 124 N. Main Street. Stop in Monday through Friday and help us fill the collection!

🎥 Take a few minutes to watch our Chamber Chat with Mallory as she shares more about the coat drive, her experience with the Youth Leadership Council, and the work she is doing to make a difference.

👏 Congratulations, Mallory, on your accomplishments! We’re excited to support you on your journey and help make your Winter Coat Drive a success.

And a special thank you to PIE&G for investing in programs like this and supporting the young achievers and future leaders of our communities. When we give young people opportunities to lead, serve, and make a difference, our entire community benefits. ❤️

Now, Cheboygan — let’s help Mallory fill those boxes! 🧥❄️
