About Gravenhurst Against Poverty
Gravenhurst Against Poverty is a group of concerned citizens who work with the community members of Gravenhurst to help reduce the effects that poverty has on people living here. We also provide two weekly home cooked meals, and a weekly fresh fruit, vegetables and protein giveaway. We have reaped great benefits from seven G.A.P. gardens this year with the amazing donations from businesses, schools and churches for the use of their land! Our volunteers do too much to list!
We are constantly expanding and and connecting people to other services within our community to help people reduce their burdens! We have a Mental Health group and Transportation group working on new initiatives and a monthly council to discuss what services are available to the Gravenhurst Area and what it is lacking.....
We need everyone's help to keep growing.
