YOUR GIFT – IN ANY AMOUNT – IS PRICELESS...
Can you help us in raising $5000 by 2021 to provide continued support for educational remote learning opportunities to area students, provide continued assistance to nursing homes and skilled care facilities for items that will bring emotional support to both patients/residents and staff during this time, and assist with supporting food banks, clothing and health related needs in partnership with area organizations including churches---all activities critical during this time of the pandemic!!!

Please consider your end of the year giving as we look to make significant fundraising progress to reach our goals early and more effectively. As you prepare to embrace the New Year of 2021, please continue to share the impact of your gifts when donating to GBDF with those in your network. We are always here to respond to the needs of our community and with your help our hands can carry more resources to those who need it most. Visit our website to donate now. There is no amount that is too small. Thank you for trusting us with your gifts this holiday season. 

With Warmest Regards,
The GBDF Officers and Board
HOW GBDF IS SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY....
  • GBDF will be partnering with Roanoke Valley Breast Cancer Coalition (RVBCC) on a federally funded grant called, Supporting Community Organizations to Strengthen Vaccine Confidence. GBDF/RVBCC will support our communities by providing accurate, up-to-date information about COVID-19 and the vaccine that considers our communities/citizens, beliefs, norms, culture, and unique context. This project is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Foundation starting in January 2021.
  • Recent GBDF charitable funding was given to Hannah’s Closet, Northampton County Department of Social Services, and the Halifax County Office on Aging. These donations were made to provide: transportation to out of area medical appointments for veterans and other key clients, caregiving to clients with physical and mental disabilities and purchase Christmas gifts for guardianship clients.
  • Another GBDF charitable donation was given to the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated Breast Exam billboard in partnership with several other partners/organizations which is now up on highway 158 in Weldon, NC. 
  • GBDF has not forgotten our area youth in this time of the pandemic. In previous years we have partnered with the Biomanufactoring Research Institute and Technology Enterprise (BRITE) Center on the campus of North Carolina Central University (NCCU) in Durham, NC. Our mission was to enlighten high school students about the possibilities of science related fields of study. This year the BRITE Center contacted GBDF looking for high school students to participate in a COVID 19 related virtual scientific experiment. Twenty students from Roanoke Rapids Early College participated and were very excited about the program.
Your gift will provide support for educational and health initiatives and program for underserved youth and families.
