The Garnet Valley Communities That Care or (GV CTC) engages the community and schools in a partnership to support, educate, parent and prepare our children to grow into healthy adults. It supports efforts such as the New Realities of Parenting seminars, Senior Walk through, and scholarships for students in Garnet Valley.
This week, the GVCTC is taking part in Delco Gives Day, the county's largest celebration of generosity. It is a county-wide giving movement that brings people together to support the nonprofits that strengthen our community. Hosted by The Foundation for Delaware County, the next Delco Gives will take place May 6–7, 2026.
During this week, any donations of $10 or more you make to the GV CTC through Delco Gives Day will get a matching donation from the Foundation. It doesn't matter the amount as long as its $10 or more. In the past two year's events each individual donation has been matched by between $25 and $30! That means that your $10 donation could net the GVCTC as much as $40!
Use the following link to be taken to the Delco Gives site where you can donate: Delco Gives Day 2026.
