Midway Chamber of Commerce

🚨 Community Update

Several local businesses, including Chamber member Borinken Cakes, were affected by overnight break-ins.

We are grateful to see these businesses already back at work and serving customers today. Their commitment to our community does not go unnoticed🩵.

Incidents like this are a reminder that business owners, neighbors, customers, and law enforcement all play an important role in keeping our commercial corridors safe. Taking a moment to review security measures, keeping an eye out for unusual activity, and sharing information with neighboring businesses can go a long way.

Most importantly, let's continue to show our support for the small businesses that invest in our community every day. Whether it's stopping in for a coffee, picking up lunch, shopping local, or simply sharing a business's post, those small actions make a difference.

If you see something, say something.

We appreciate everyone who helps make our community a great place to live, work, and do business.
