Throughout its history, the Bartow Area Board has exerted its influence in civic affairs in its capacity of representing a substantial segment of the business community across Bartow County. The Board has contributed to various charities over the years by hosting fundraisers; such as, Toiletries Drive for Hickory Log, A Good Neighbor Homeless Shelter, Christian League for Battered Women, Baby Supply Drive for Women's Resource Center, Food Drive to provide over 125 families with complete Thanksgiving Baskets, Annual Blood Drive, Ringing the Bell for the Salvation Army, and a toy drive for Bartow's Christmas.
