Caring Hands

Record Number of Volunteers Signing Up for upcoming Year of Service to our Community!

For years our GVCO Caring Hands foundation has focused on working with local partners to better assist the many needs in the region. This coming fall we are pleased to announce that we've added two new collaborative efforts.

This September, we will be working with the Brandywine Valley SPCA in association with their donation drive. And in November, we will be helping the Home of the Sparrow with their Winter White Out event.

Again this October, we will be hosting our 3^rd annual donation drive to benefit Cradles2Crayons. Start putting the gently used clothing and shoes the kids have grown out of in a bag, as October is right around the corner!

We would also like to welcome this year’s Caring Hands student leadership co-presidents Mia and Lauren. These two join a long list of the many middle school and high school volunteers who signed up to help out this year.

Come join us in making a difference

GVCO Community Partnership

Announcing a new GVCO Partnership

Immaculata.Edu

For many years, GVCO has enjoyed a tremendous relationship with Temple University's School of Sports Tourism and Hospitality Management. Recently GVCO has reached out to Immaculata's Office of Career and Professional Development to initiate a similar relationship. As a local community partner, Immaculata is a natural fit for GVCO as we continue to develop further programming here in the Great Valley Community. Immaculata has strength in areas like adult programs and Education - areas that GVCO plans to focus on with the onset of the new facility. As we move into the new school year, look for GVCO and Immaculata working together for the betterment of our local community.

GVCO Project Update

Work Continues At Our New GVCO Community Center On Bacton Hill Rd.

With the offsite stormwater piping nearly complete, the future site of the GVCO Community Center on Bacton Hill Rd should begin to transform. The stormwater pipe had to be installed first but the building pad will start to take shape in the coming week.

And the playing field is just starting to turn green under the mulching straw put down a couple of weeks ago.

The time is NOW.... Together we can make it happen!

We need your help to finish what we've started! We will not get the necessary financing to complete the project without raising additional funds.

GVCO Sponsor Spotlight

Haly Oil, now Haly Home Comfort, started in 1985 with one truck and one customer. Delivering home heating oil was the initial focus, but it wasn’t long before a service department was added.

Today, as the 35th anniversary approaches, the mission-driven Haly Companies strive to provide home comfort and energy services around the clock in the most customer-friendly way possible. And, Walter “Bud” Haly, owner and co-founder, continues to put customers and the community first, just as he did when he began delivering oil in 1985.

Bud and the entire Haly family have given GVCO an incredible amount of time, energy, resources and service throughout its 20+ years in existence. “We’re a family-owned business,” Bud says. “We live where you live, we raise our kids here, and we strive to have a positive impact on the environment. Our community is your community, and your friends are our friends.” And this epitomizes GVCO’s mission and goals. GVCO is proud to partner with our local friend and business owner.
