The Winchester Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to promoting and serving businesses and fostering a strong economic climate all consistent and in harmony with the character and culture of Winchester.

The Chamber supports its Shop Locally initiative through many activities including Shop Winchester Gift Certificates, Experience Winchester Welcome Bags and partnering with several organizations to encourage residents to shop locally. We have one of the most active and successful “women in business” groups in the area.

For many years, the Winchester Chamber of Commerce has made it a priority to help raise money for beautification projects. It has spearheaded all the fundraising for the holiday lighting and hanging flower baskets which makes the entire center area an attractive and inviting place to shop and relax with friends and family. In addition, we provided new benches which were placed in the downtown area.

The Winchester Chamber represents large and small businesses, retail and service organizations, dining establishments and many non-profit organizations. We have a monthly newsletter and a wonderful website (www.Winchesterchamber.com) to keep everyone up to date on our members and the Chamber activities and projects. Our Chamber works 365 days a year to help all of our businesses.
