The Elkford Chamber of Commerce with the District of Elkford conduct Business Walks each year in February. Business walks are a great value and opportunity for local representatives and leaders within your area to connect with businesses either in a face to face or over the phone informal interview way. The focus on conducting business walks in your area are to help target key information and actions needed.
Business walks help to build the economic stimulus in the area and provide information on how businesses and organizations are currently operating while being able to communicate about concerns and needed action plans from the Chamber of Commerce.

The Elkford Clean Up program is a community initiative to keep our community, pathways and surrounding parks and nature free of environmental debris and waste. The Clean Up program is a seasonal program running from May-September of each year. We offer incentives to community members to help keep these areas clean through our gift certificate program, which also helps local businesses in Elkford. Each year we have designated Clean Up days and areas for groups in the community or businesses to tackle. The area range for our beautiful mountain community clean up program is from 7 Mile to Round Prairie.

Shop Local Elkford was created to support businesses and organizations in Elkford to provide their services and products to the community. The Facebook page also acts as a connecting point for community members to find local services and products. With many businesses in Elkford being Small Home Based with no retail location, we wanted to provide a one stop place for businesses, organizations and the community.
