What We Do
PROGRAMS
Kathleen E. Roberts Memorial Scholarships
Each year the GBA presents a number of scholarships to graduating seniors at Ponaganset High School who will be attending an accredited junior college, college, university or technical school. "Welcome To Glocester" Signs Sponsorship Program
Five large welcome signs posted at eastern and western ends of Route 44, northern and southern ends of Route 102, and northern end of Route 100. Members can sign up to sponsor a sign and receive 6 months of advertising. Monies generated
by this program are used to maintain or replace, when needed, these five signs. "Welcome to Chepachet" Streetlight Banners

EVENTS
Family Fun Day
A vibrant, community-centered event bringing local families and businesses together for a day of fun and connection, all to benefit the Glocester Animal Shelter. Local businesses - both members and non-members - are invited to set up a booth, showcase their products or services, and engage directly with the community. Trick or Treat on Main Street
Each year since 2016, well over 1000 children and their families participate in this exciting event designed to benefit the Glocester and Foster Food Pantries. In exchange for Halloween treats, participants donate food and/or cash for the food pantries.
PUBLICATIONS
"GBA Member Guide"
At the beginning of each year, the GBA publishes the GBA Member Guide. These high-quality brochures are distributed throughout Glocester and beyond by our Brochure Distribution Committee. Members may also pick up a stack of brochures at Chepachet Village Wine & Spirits to distribute at their business or
organization. "A Guide To Glocester"
This exciting initiative, launched in 2023, is a full color, top quality, magazine-style publication sponsored by the Glocester Business Association. The guide includes listings of local shops, dining, accommodations, entertainment, recreational activities, wellness, and more! Each year we publish 3,000 printed guides which are
distributed to businesses and public buildings throughout the region. Pick up a stack at Chepachet Village Wine & Spirits and distribute them at your place of business!
