GCUW 2022 CampaignOver the last year, GCUW has stepped up our fight for the people of our community, ensuring that the most necessary programs remained and thrived. In 2022, our goal is to connect… connect people to resources, connect volunteers to opportunities, and connect leadership to long standing local issues. But to do this, we need your help.
On behalf of GCUW, we ask you to commit to making an impact where you live and/or work. Through generous donations like yours, YOU are helping libraries touch lives through educational programming. YOU are offering abused individuals a safe space and vulnerable adults a hot meal. YOU are providing food to those who are struggling and helping when a disaster strikes. Next year, GCUW will offer many ways to make an immediate impact in Greene County. All we need is YOU. |
