Vet Watch

Polk County has the highest per-capita veteran population in all NC counties (9.1% +/- 1.1% – 2020 US Census)

 

“Salute the Foothills”

The Carolina Foothills Chamber is proud of our community and the veterans and their families that live here.  The Chamber welcomes Joseph Poe to the 2022 Board of Directors. He will help the Chamber support veteran businesses and find resources to help support them and their families.
