ROANOKE VIRGINIA
EditorsLetter
This guide is a celebration of the people behind exceptional local businesses in the Roanoke region the entrepreneurs, makers, and artists who have followed their passions and share a commitment to our community.
Volume 1 is a tribute to the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains that embrace our valley. The deep blue hue chosen for this edition symbolizes the unwavering integrity that defines the business owners featured within. The delicate band of light pink represents the breathtaking sunset skies that grace the horizon, serving as a reminder of the inherent beauty found in every moment. Wrapped like a present, this guide is a gift to my hometown.
I hope that this book will inspire discovery. Browse it, display it, and share it with family and friends. Whether you’re a visitor, newcomer, or longtime local, use this guide to help you engage with the businesses in the Roanoke region on a deeper level. May it enhance your life and allow you to enjoy our community to the fullest.
Finally, I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of the members who appear in our inaugural edition for joining this collective. It is an honor to help tell their stories, and I can’t wait to share more about them online throughout the coming year.
Thank you for using this guide, and when you connect with these businesses, please tell them The Scout Guide sent you!
Warm regards,
Emily Pinkerton

Our rich history is a testament to our unwavering commitment to supporting individuals and families on their journey toward emotional wellness, healthy relationships, and a future filled with hope. At FSRV, we are more than just a service provider; we are a community of compassionate individuals dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those we serve.

The Life Ring Foundation is a 501(c)3 charity founded by Jessica and Kelly Woolwine. Our foundation has supported the health and well-being of children in our area through multiple programs for over 15 years. However, since our daughter Charlotte’s cancer diagnosis in 2018, we are heavily focused on changing the narrative for kids diagnosed with cancer in our region. Through our Fighting Kids Cancer (FKC) campaign, we endeavor to provide critically needed resources to our local pediatric hematology and oncology program. In less than 1 year since launching the FKC campaign, with the help of our incredible volunteer committee, we have pledged $2 million to our local program. Join us today.
