As many know, our peaceful community in Kilmarnock was recently turned upside down on April 19th, 2022 with a devastating fire. This unimaginable event displaced members of our community and tragically, this fire also took a life of a community member.
Today, the Town of Kilmarnock, in partnership with Blue Ridge Bank, is announcing the launch of “Kilmarnock Rebuild” in support of the businesses displaced by the fire. “Kilmarnock Rebuild” will be a pool of funds to be shared equally by the damaged businesses to assist them with restarting and moving forward.
If you are interested in helping these businesses get reestablished and want to donate, here’s how you can help:
Financial donations may be made directly to “Kilmarnock Rebuild”.
Checks should be dropped off at the following Blue Ridge Bank branches: Kilmarnock, White Stone, Callao, Montross, Warsaw and Hartfield.
Mail Checks to:
Blue Ridge Bank
PO Box 1869
Kilmarnock VA 22482
Attn: William Smith, Kilmarnock Rebuild
At this time, an online link is not available. All monies will be directed to the affected businesses. These contributions will not receive a tax deduction letter.
“These businesses are an important part of our community and while we know it will take some time for them to rebuild, we are ready to support them today. We continue to pray for everyone affected by the fire and thank Blue Ridge Bank for being such a supportive partner” stated Mayor Mae Umphlett.
