Donations keep us going! Help us out with a one-time donation! 

Up-keeping of our facility, our public programs that we hold, our senior activities, and everything in between, donations are what keeps us going! Whether it's $100 or $10,000, we appreciate and can use every dollar!

Have a vehicle that's not being driven? Help us out! 

Thinking of donating your vehicle to charity?  Now you can, and at the same time support the GVJCI!  We have teamed up with Harold's Car Donation Service (HCDS). We also accept Disabled Vehicles, Junk Cars, Scrap Cars and Wrecks as well. 
Got that old car in the garage you're thinking about?

Matching Gifts 

Your company may be one of thousands that “match” employee charitable contributions with corporate dollars. Many companies also match volunteer hours or gifts from spouses, retirees and board members. A corporate matching gift is an easy way to double, or even triple, the impact of your personal contribution to the GVJCI.

Stock Donations

    Donating stock is another great way to support the GVJCI!
