GoochlandCares has received a charitable contribution of $100,000 from Larry Page, Tanner Hulette, and The Page Auto Group. The gift will fund critical services including food, medical care, emergency housing, and domestic violence support for the most vulnerable individuals and families in the Goochland community. The donation comes during the organization’s annual Building Bridges of Hope fundraiser. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, GoochlandCares transitioned the popular community event to an online format. The continued support of long-time donors and community partners means more than ever this year, as GoochlandCares has seen an increase in demand for its services which provide a safety net for neighbors who may have lost their jobs or health care. Sally Graham, Executive Director of Goochland Cares, recently accepted

ention to Goochland resident George Smith just how easy life has become for the modern consumer — how these days you can order up everything you need from your favorite megastore and have it all picked out and loaded into your car when you get there — and he’ll probably smile and say that it certainly has. But don’t be surprised if he also gently points out that none of SMITH this newfangled, onestop-shop convenience is particularly new. In fact, he might tell you with a glint in his eye, it’s at least a century old. see Store > page 3
