GVCO Caring Hands is starting its 2nd decade of Community Service!
for the 2024-2025 school year.
Caring Hands newsletters and event updates will be sent via Constant Contact to the submitted email addresses for both parent and student. Returning volunteers still need to signup for the 2024-2025 school year. Volunteers can sign up for as many events and shifts as they'd like.
The signup form asks for parent(s) email addresses but parents can add themselves to the Caring Hands 2024-2025 school year Constant Contact list.

Caring Hands Helping Local Families
"For several years Caring Hands of GVCO has contributed generously to Great Valley students and families in need in a variety of ways. They donated thousands of dollars in gift cards for groceries and children’s holiday gifts and even helped families pay bills during especially difficult times. They have come through when it seemed all hope was lost. Caring Hands seems to always be there for the Great Valley community." ~ Krista Russell, Great Valley School District Social Worker.
