EffingHAM-JAM Needs Volunteers

The Effingham County Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Koerner Distributor, Inc, the Chamber Foundation of Effingham County, John Boos & Co., and the Kansas City BBQ Society to host the EffingHAM-JAM State BBQ Championship July 23-24.

The event will be held in downtown Effingham around the Old Courthouse. Funds generated support the Chamber Foundation of Effingham County's Scholarship Program AND the soon-to-be-debuting EC-JOBS (Effingham County Job Opportunities for Business Success) initiative. The EffingHAM-JAM committee is recruiting volunteers for a variety of shifts on Friday and Saturday covering the Beer Tent, Hometown Throwdown, Info Booth, Tear Down/Clean Up and Floaters. It's an opportunity to take your friends and volunteer as a group or rack up service/community project hours for work or school. All volunteers will receive a complimentary 2021 HAM-JAM t-shirt. This event relies heavily on volunteers to help host a premier event for both the cooking teams and the community.
