Wednesday, October 28th @6pm GCYPN is heading to Art Alive with Alecia for a night of creativity & connection!

GCYPN Thriving Holiday Meal

Join the Grant County Young Professionals Network (GCYPN) as we partner with Thriving Grant County to help prepare and deliver Thanksgiving meals to neighbors across our community.

We’re looking for young professionals who want to spend part of their Wednesday afternoon giving back, meeting other young professionals, and helping make Thanksgiving a little brighter for local families.

Wednesday, November 25
2:30–6:00 p.m.
213 E. South A, Gas City

You do not need to stay for the entire event. Choose the volunteer opportunity and time that works best for you:

  • Packing & Food Prep | Beginning at 2:30 p.m. — Help prepare, organize, and pack Thanksgiving meals for delivery.
  • Meal Delivery | Beginning at 5:00 p.m. — Pick up prepared meals and help deliver them to community members.
  • Clean Up | Beginning at 5:15 p.m. — Help wrap up the evening, clean the space, and get everything put back in order.

Come for an hour, stay for the afternoon, or jump in for one specific part. Every set of hands helps.

This is a great opportunity to connect with other young professionals while serving Greater Grant County together.

No cost to participate! Please RSVP here so Thriving knows how many volunteers to expect!
