Greater Holyoke Chamber Power Hour Highlights Community Generosity
HOLYOKE — The Greater Holyoke Chamber of Commerce’s recent Power Hour event showcased the generosity of the local business community, resulting in significant contributions to the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. The event, hosted by 850 High Street LLC, brought together business leaders to support vital local causes and demonstrated a powerful response to community needs.
During the event, Grzelak, Grzelak and Associates, P.C. presented a $5,000 check to the Food Bank. Daruma BBQ, a new chamber member and recently established Holyoke business, contributed a $1,000 check.
In a display of immediate community support, refreshments from the Power Hour event were delivered directly to firefighters monitoring the scene of the recent fire at Franklin and High streets. The fire occurred in close proximity to the event’s host, 850 High Street LLC, and the donation provided on-scene support to the first responders.
The Power Hour served as a testament to the business community’s dedication to tackling food insecurity and supporting local heroes. The funds presented will aid the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts in its mission to provide nutritious food to individuals across the region, while the direct food donation offered timely relief to emergency personnel.
