About the Chamber

Our mission is to improve the quality of life in our community by providing leadership to coordinate, support, and promote the businesses and civic interest of our members.
In place since 1930, the Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary organization of small businesses, local industries, individuals, civic clubs and churches who band together to advance the commercial, industrial, educational and civic interests of the community. We have room for you!

The Waylin Area Foundation

The Waylin Area Foundation, established by the Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce in 1993, seeks to serve the community in four primary areas: the promotion of agriculture, education, physician recruitment and crime prevention. It is the funding mechanism for the award-winning N.C. Pickle Festival, and proceeds from the festival are used to support the Chamber and to fund community initiatives year-round. As a tax-exempt organization, the Waylin Foundation also provides administrative support to other major fundraising initiatives in the community as needed.
