The Blowing Rock Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce that more than $125,000 has been raised to support the employees impacted by the fire at Bistro Roca.
The Chamber will officially begin disbursing funds on Thursday, February 19th from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Blowing Rock Chamber offices.
Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, residents, visitors, and community partners, this relief effort exceeded all expectations.
“This is the Power of Local in action,” said Robin Miller, CEO of the Blowing Rock Chamber. “Our community stepped up immediately and showed what it truly means to support local — not just businesses, but the people behind them.”
The Chamber extends sincere gratitude to every donor who contributed and supported this effort.
Media are welcome to attend during the distribution window. Interviews with Chamber leadership will be available on-site.
