Are Your Kids Growing Out Of Their Clothes, Shoes and Coats?
 
GVCO and our Caring Hands foundation, a student run community service group, are in the midst of our 3rd Annual Cradle to Crayons Donation Drive. 

Consider gathering your clothes/shoes/coats together in a bag or box and drop them off at GVCO.

Volunteers will be at GVCO on this Saturday (11/6) 9-3 to accept your donations at the GVCO complex: 51 N Bacton Hill Rd, Malvern.  

If another time works best for you, day time drop off is available at the GVCO complex between now and November 14th.

For further info, please go to the Caring Hands News & Updates section of our www.gvco.org website.
A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.

Philadelphia is the nation's poorest big city with nearly 300,000 children living in poverty across the region. Cradles to Crayons Philadelphia has a reach that goes well beyond the borders of the city itself.
 
Chester County, including the Malvern area, is included in the region in which Cradles to Crayons is having an impact. GVCO is once again partnering with Cradles to Crayons, hosting our 3rd Annual Donation Drive. Reaching out to our Great Valley community in an effort to help those right here in our area.
 
Part of Cradles to Crayons' mission: "Our whole focus is to make our collaborative process as easy and streamlined as possible. This helps us to empower the children we serve collaboratively — at home, at school, and at play — by providing the everyday essentials that match their individual needs." GVCO's reach here in the community, coupled with Cradles to Crayons' ability to reach those in need is the perfect partnership for our GVCO Caring Hands foundation.
 
Childhood poverty is a serious nationwide issue and the local area is not immune. Without adequate and appropriate clothing, children face unfair barriers and participate in life on an unequal playing field. Cradles to Crayons uses the term “Clothing Insecurity” as part of our efforts to formally recognize the issue, and increase awareness on this hidden basic need.
 
GVCO is proud to be partnering with such a worthy organization in helpng Cradles to Crayons reach its inspiring mission and goals.
 
GVCO Donor Spotlight
Tom Farrelly

Daughter:`Hey Dad", Me, "Greatest thing I'll ever be"

What GVCO provided for me and the girls CAN NOT be overstated. Picking them up after school, getting to practice/games, out to eat, hanging with other parents, etc. We got to interact/experience a bit of actual day/day life on life's terms.

Nothing takes the place of being there and for sure some things would have been different. So many experiences, "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want". I got to play Dad and coach...and the girls had a role model.

Know that GVCO has made a difference in the lives of my daughters and myself. That is very noble.

-Tom Farrelly, GVBL Ref & GV Dad whose daughters are GVSD graduates and GVBL participants.
