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.
|
|
Again this October, we will be hosting our 3rd 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.

Announcing a new GVCO Partnership
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.

After some final tree clearing for storm water pipe, the site contractor immediately started grading the playing field space. Getting this space into usable condition as quickly as possible is a priority. GVCO wants to create the much needed space as we have begun to plan a number of community events through our Caring Hands and Challenger programs; our youth football and cheer programs will be utilizing the space; and have begun discussing use for our community partners and outside groups for other activities and fundraising opportunities.
As we have been saying, "We Are On Our Way"! Keep an eye on our website and social media pages as we will be announcing a "formal ground breaking" date in September as the 1st phase of the building begins to take shape. We will also be announcing the restart of our Great Valley Building Connections ("GVBC") capital campaign in the coming weeks as we continue to need to reach our $3 million fundraising goal in hopes of completing the entire building.

We are on our way...
to a world-class community resource that delivers a broad range of sports, educational, arts, recreational and senior programs that address key community needs.

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. |

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.
