GV Caring Hands is making a difference in our community. Thank you for your support!

 The GVCO Caring Hands Program has been looking for ways to support the wonderful health care workers on the front lines of this pandemic.  Recently we became aware that some of these brave people have experienced discomfort around their ears from wearing masks for long periods of time. 

Caring Hands has partnered with Strawberry Blonde Bands, a home business in Phoenixville, to provide colorful headbands, complete with two buttons, allowing medical staff to attach the mask straps away from their ears.  The demand for these special headbands has been tremendous from hospitals and medical facilities; to date Caring Hands has delivered over 200 headbands under this effort, with another 100 in production. 

Thank You to our health care personnel for their outstanding, caring service to the community! 
  
  If you would like to donate to this initiative, go to  GVCO Caring Hands Response Fund to help more
  of our first responders receive headbands to relieve stress on their ears and head.

Just during the last few weeks, GVCO Caring Hands launched its first ever clothing drive and donated a truck load of children's items for Cradles to Crayons; hand wrote Thanksgiving cards for Surrey Services' homebound seniors; wrapped and donated over 300 gifts for holiday parties for seniors through Great Valley and Phoenixville Area Senior Centers; raised funds by auctioning the Giant Nutcracker and donated $1,000 of gift cards to GVSD social worker for distribution throughout the school district and $1,000 specifically for our four families through the "Families in Need" initiative.

We are blessed with a great community!

We delivered a car load of presents, specially wrapped by the Caring Hands elves, to the Phoenixville Area Senior Center for their Holiday Lunch Party. Everyone was very excited and thankful to receive the presents for their annual party and visit with Santa today!

  A few of the girls got together over the weekend to write Thanksgiving cards that will be 
  distributed to "homebound" seniors. Everyone will be receiving meals from our partner, Surrey
  Services to make for a festive holiday!

   Caring Hands held a bake sale this past Saturday at our GVBL Picture Day. We asked families 
   for a donation instead of listing prices. We appreciate everyone who purchased goodies from
   our sale.

  On Saturday, November 2nd, Caring Hands held a tent outside of our GVBL Center 
  to help spread Awareness of the impact which Cradles to Crayons brings to the community!

  Our Caring Hands group handed out some small gift souvenirs to everyone who stopped by the    tent!

  GVCO Caring Hands volunteers enjoyed helping out with the annual Steps4Hope 5k Run at the
  Great Valley High School stadium.

  Thanks to all of our volunteers!
