Build a Better Community
The GUCC Outreach and the Benevout Community Service Corporation was established February 2021. The overall objective of the Organization is to help and assist in combating homelessness and hunger within our community. But, in the face of Covid 19, homelessness and hunger in the United States is on the rise. Why? The top four causes of homelessness are: lack of affordable housing, unemployment, poverty and low wages. With a helping hand, we can provide healthy meals, affordable housing, and the tools needed for those who finish our program to live independently.
