RVWC in the Community . . . Small Enough to Care

 

The leadership of Roanoke Valley Wine realizes that a company can’t be strong unless it is willing to help address basic needs in the community it serves.  These needs are many and we have limited resources.  In an effort to make the greatest impact possible we have selected the following philanthropic partners for 2011.  Our goal will be to actively engage and support these organizations through approved financial support, company resources and encouraged associate participation in company and community awareness campaigns.  Our goal will also be to educate our Associates on the mission of each organization so that they can be informed supporters.
