Elementary School Coat Drive

Thank you Charlestown Elementary School!

In just one week Charlestown was able to collect 50 coats. The coats were collected by our Senior Intern Maddy Camp and will be distributed to local families through the Devereux Foundation.

Wrap a family in warmth, one coat at a time!

Holiday Gift Wrapping

Volunteers will meet at the GVCO Community Complex Center to organize and wrap gifts for local Senior Citizen Centers on December 3rd and 10th.

Thank you Caring Hands Volunteers for filling all the Sign Up slots!

Thank You Volunteers

Thank you!

Sam Browns Nursery in Malvern has graciously donated 24 10' trees to GVCO's new complex and Chester County Bamboo delivered them! Planting all the trees was quickly done thanks to Cappelli Masonry and GVCO volunteers.

A HUGE shout out to Katie Arena, horticultural expert from Sam Browns Nursery, and a terrific mom from Sugartown. Katie graciously directed and lent her expertise throughout the entire tree planting project.

A perfect example of our wonderful community working together...for the good of our community!
