Support DRI on Give Roanoke Day
A day to give back 🩷
Hi everyone,
Today is Give Roanoke Day, and we’re inviting you to help keep Downtown Roanoke vibrant, welcoming, and thriving.
Your gift to Downtown Roanoke Inc. directly supports two core efforts that make a visible difference every single day:
• Our Downtown Roanoke Ambassadors, who work 7 days a week—rain or shine—keeping our streets clean, assisting visitors, and creating a safe, friendly environment.
• Our Beautification Projects, including the flowers, planters, and public space enhancements that bring color and life to downtown.
If you love this city and the energy of its downtown, today is the perfect day to give back.
Thank you for supporting the heart of our community!

Downtown Beautification Projects
Our beautification efforts include:
The Downtown Hanging Basket Program (276 Baskets), Downtown Planters (128 Planters), Market Square Palisade Planters (9 Planters), Market Square Tree Lighting, Century Plaza Lighting, and more!
Ambassador Program
Having a clean, safe, and welcoming downtown is the foundation of a great city. Our 8-person Ambassador team is downtown 7 days a week providing over 300 hours of weekly services. Our Ambassador Program builds on existing services and allows us to expand and improve the downtown experience for residents, employees, business owners, and visitors.
Donations are tax-deductible and will be accepted through DRI's non-profit partner, the Foundation for Downtown Roanoke, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
