GCE Community Blog

GCE is proud to continue our support of local communities. This week our team focused on the Cape and Islands with the local United Way to celebrate National Volunteer Month!

GCE’s partnership with the United Way helped the foundation this week by delivering essential baby shower gifts throughout the cape, in our GCE trucks. GCE believes in the values that United Way holds dear…”with the help of donors, volunteers, partners and sponsors- together working towards a community where every child has an equal opportunity to thrive, every family has the resources to become self-reliant, and every person has a safe place to call home..”. Thanks to Evelyn Nelson and Jackie Barber from the United Way, and the help of our Cape Crew, we were able to make a difference.

GCE is proud to support our local communities and has just partnered with the Cape and Islands United Way.

GCE is proud to be a Hero Level Sponsor for the Feed the Hungry Gala for 2021.

GCE is proud to have recently donated to NAMI - the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Now more than ever, people are suffering from mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, PTSD, bipolar, borderline personality disorder, ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicide, addiction and others.

Our gift will go a long way in helping NAMI meet the overwhelming need for mental health support and guidance that people are experiencing across the nation.
