GECAC is serving Erie County's most vulnerable in areas of housing assistance, education, employment, and income, protecting seniors and a bevy of other coordinating services during a shaky economy. We are all in this together, which is why we want to provide you with a way to make your contribution go further by participating in Erie Gives.

What is Erie Gives?

Spearheaded by the Erie Community Foundation, Erie Gives rallies the entire community to donate to their local non-profits of choice. You can be a philanthropist with a gift of just $25 or more. Make your gift online, mail a check, or deliver your gift in person.
