Introducing Shop Goochland First!

Overview:
Shop Goochland First is a campaign to promote and support Goochland County businesses, Goochland County Public Schools and grow our local economy. This program is a partnership with the Goochland County Chamber of Commerce. This campaign will mutually benefit local businesses in the county, the Goochland Chamber, as well as Goochland Public Schools.

Monthly Fundraisers (local business):
The key to this program are the monthly fundraisers that will encourage the Goochland community to shop at the Goochland businesses which are participating in the “Shop Goochland First” program. In return, those businesses will make a donation to your Goochland Public School of choice.  All the details of the Fundraising program can be found on the website – http://www.shopgoochlandfirst.com/schools
