Ways to Give

Empowering People. Strengthening Erie County.

At GECAC, we are deeply committed to ending poverty by investing in individuals and families who are working to build better futures. Through a range of impactful programs, we provide the tools and support needed to break the cycle of poverty, achieve self-sufficiency, and gain lasting financial independence

We also serve our aging population through GECAC's Area Agency on Aging, which plays a vital role in promoting the health, independence, and overall well-being of older adults across Erie County.

Our mission supports the health, safety, education, and economic stability of every person in need across Erie County. But we can't do it alone. Your support makes change possible.

There are many ways to get involved—find the one that's right for you and help create a stronger community.
