The Rocky Mount Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting a blanket drive called "Kover with Kare" to help those in need during the winter months. The event encourages community members to drop off new blankets at the chamber's location.

The blanket drive will take place from November 14th to December 18th. Participants can bring their donations to the chamber, which is located at 100 Coastline Street on the second floor of the Train Station.

For any questions about the drive, individuals can contact the Chamber at 252-446-0323. This initiative aims to provide warmth to residents of Western North Carolina during the colder season.
