GVCO Project Update
GVCO is excited to announce that we have been awarded $750,000.00 of state funding to assist with the construction of our new GVCO Community Center. With the help of Senator Comitta to secure the funding, GVCO sees this as another milestone towards making this wonderful community asset a reality for Great Valley and the surrounding region.
to a world-class community resource that delivers a broad range of sports, educational, arts, recreational and senior programs that address key community needs.
The results are in! The Great Valley Community Organization received over 58,000 votes from people who believe in our mission and our impact in the community. We received a good-sized donation thanks to you!
Target’s Community Giving Program provides Target Circle members the opportunity to earn and cast votes to help area nonprofits. We are grateful for our partnership with Target and for our Great Valley Community members.
