Delco 'Keep The Cheer' Campaign Offers Local Shoppers Gift Cards

DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — As 2020 comes to a close, Delaware County has launched a new initiative to spread cheer and support local businesses.

The county has launched its first-ever Keep the Cheer Here social media campaign.

Visit Delco PA, the Delaware County Commerce Center, and the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce teamed up with the Delaware County Council to start the campaign, which asks residents to put on their masks and visit a Delco shop or restaurant then post a picture or check-in using the hashtag #ShopDelco on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn and tag @DelcoChamber or @KeeptheCheerHereDelco now through Dec. 30.

Every post is an entry into the drawing for gift cards to businesses across the county. Winners will be drawn each Wednesday and will be contacted by the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce and mailed or emailed the gift cards.

“This is a fun and easy way to show some love and support for our Delco businesses who have been greatly impacted during the pandemic," Delaware County Councilwoman Elaine Paul Schaefer said. "Delco business owners are our family, friends and neighbors. We need to support them. Put your money where your home is!"

Residents are reminded to follow public health guidance while supporting shops and restaurants.
Delco businesses have worked hard to keep employees, customers and the community safe and
residents need to do their part to protect the business community and also do everything they can to allow businesses to stay open.

Protect our businesses and protect each other:

• Wear a Mask
• Social distance
• Stay home if you’re sick
• Take advantage of curbside pickup, online orders and delivery, and outdoor dining

"Delco has incredible shops and restaurants right here in our own backyard," said Delaware
County Chamber of Commerce President Trish McFarland. "Instead of shopping at big box stores or online sites, support our local community at a time when they need it the most. Keep the cheer here!"
