For the Upcoming Ag Hub, this fundraiser is an urgent call to protect a long-held vision for the community. Located near the Historic Roanoke Canal Trail and Underground Railroad, the Hub was created to become a gathering place for the dynamic solutions needed to improve quality of life in the region. After 13 years of working toward this goal, a brick was recently thrown through the building’s window and shattered it, creating an immediate need to replace the damaged glass so this work can keep moving forward.

The funds raised will go directly toward replacing the vandalized window and helping ensure the Upcoming Ag Hub can continue becoming the home for the planned Art of Gathering initiative. This initiative is meant to support the community’s creative, wellness, and thought leadership needs, and the building is intended to serve as the heart of that work. Resource is asking for support from anyone who believes in protecting spaces that bring people together and help communities grow stronger. Every donation, no matter the size, will help restore this setback and move the vision of the Upcoming Ag Hub forward for the people it is meant to serve.
