GCOC serves the Grove Community in diverse ways.
It provides food, clothing, school supplies, special events (for example, the back-to-school event), and information about medical and other services and job opportunities available in the community at large. These services are carried out in the context of friendship and celebration of this opportunity to serve God by serving our brothers and sisters in the Grove Community. This volunteer experience is extremely satisfying to me because it is well organized, meets real needs, and allows me to interact with other volunteers and clients. I gain a sense of doing something truly worthwhile that involves me at a personal and spiritual level. Also, I enjoy it very much! The nature of the work and the friendships I have made with fellow volunteers and clients lead me to do everything I can to see that nothing conflicts with my volunteer schedule at GCOC.

Overall Experience
Grove Community people treated like family...
|
I volunteer in the Pantry with others. It's been a blessing watching how God supplies the resources needed for this ministry to offer food, clothing and assistance to the Grove community. The staff and other volunteers are loving and compassionate people. And treat the community people as family.

Overall Experience
The Outreach Center is a place where you feel love as soon as you walk in the door.
|
I've gotten to help, along with my family, at seasonal events. You can truly feel God's love reaching others when you are there. The work being done in Grove is remarkable. It is a wonderful place to volunteer if you are looking for a place to involve your own family/children in helping others.
