In March, Goffstown neighborhoods received neo-Nazi propaganda in their driveways. Because of that incident, we have developed “One Goffstown”, a series of discussions for teens and adults with the goal of encouraging communication and becoming a more welcoming, accepting community for everyone.
Show your support, and your attitude of unity, when you share these events on social media, along with the hashtag #OneGoffstown.
