🍁Happy Thanksgiving from the

Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce 🍁

As we gather with family, friends, and loved ones this week, the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce extends our heartfelt gratitude to all of our members, partners, sponsors, and community leaders. Your dedication, collaboration, and continued support strengthen the Blackstone Valley and help out business community thrive every single day.

May this season of thanks bring you peace, joy, and meaningful moments with those who matter most.

In observance of Thanksgiving, the BVCC offices will be closed today, Thursday, November 27th, and tomorrow, Friday, November 28th. We will resume normal business hours on Monday.

From all of us at the Chamber, we wish you a safe, warm, and wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

“Our annual Jingle & Mingle returns to Vaillancourt Folk Art, a night to connect, celebrate, and give back,” said Liz O’Neil, Executive Director of the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce. “Guests will enjoy a cash bar, hors d’oeuvres, and live music from Dan Chauvin, along with cozy coffee and cocoa drinks from our friends at Stay A While Coffee. It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the holiday season, make new connections, and support our annual toy drive for Family Services.”

Community Harvest Project!

Community Harvest Project in Grafton to date has distributed over 246,000 lbs. of fresh fruits and vegetables to our 27 hunger relief partners, that's over 1.3 million servings that have gone out to our community. They are not done however, final distributions of apples, root vegetables, butternut and acorn squash, cabbage, onions and lettuce, spinach and collards from their high tunnel will go out to partners as late as mid-December. This will be the first time in CHP history that they are distributing to their partners this late in the year - great news at a time where our community needs support more than ever. 

Hard, caring, and good work from the team at CHP and the community volunteers has paid off to assist our communities with food insecurity issues. We are so fortunate to have CHP based in the Blackstone Valley!

Please consider volunteering at CHP, it DOES make a difference!
