Stuff to do close to home

 

The world is open and lots of things are going on in Goochland in the next few weeks. Here is a sampling.

Food Drive

If a bag like the one pictured recently appeared at your doorstep, please, if you are able, share some non-perishable food with county residents who are struggling. Goochland Cares (https://goochlandcares.org/) operates a food pantry to fight hunger.

Hunger hurts, help our neighbors.
