GCUW Spotlight:
Blueprints
Blueprints operates 35+ programs that now help over 21,000 people annually. They serve our neighbors from cradle to gray, and provide assistance at all income levels, though most fall in the lower income bracket. All of Blueprints services are delivered in a “quilted” or seamless manner, in order to provide entire families with options needed to maximize self-sufficiency. It is their intention to provide a depth of service that changes the trajectory of people’s lives and works to sustain those changes over time.

2024 UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN
GCUW's 2024 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 2024, 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 your generous donation, YOU are helping libraries touch lives through educational activities. YOU are offering abused individuals a safe space and vulnerable adults a hot meal. YOU are giving new shoes to a child before school starts. And, 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. |
