Ongoing Events and Programs

Shells into Bells: Many people around the nation are using all or part of their stimulus incentive checks the government is mailing out in May to immediate advantage for people in poverty.GRCC is encouraging you to give half or more of your check either to a project that empowers people in poverty locally or perhaps, anonymously or not, to someone who is currently struggling with meeting his or her basic needs.

Anyone making such a commitment can let GRCC know and we will send you a bell. It once was a shell used in war, but has been turned into a sign of justice and peace. Fill out the Shells into Bells Form and let GRCC know what charity will receive your donation and where to send your bell.

This is a pilot project that will expand access to childcare subsidies for working families with children between the ages of six weeks and 12 years, who reside in Monroe County. To be eligible to receive Childcare Dollars, parents must work at least 20 hours per week, with incomes between 151% and 275% of the federal poverty level; there is no restriction on family size. The subsidies will cover a portion of childcare expenses, leaving the parent to pay a weekly co-payment. See the
Child Care Worksheet  for more information.
