Donate $60 for GECAC's 60th Anniversary!

At Greater Erie Community Action Committee, our mission is simple but powerful:
To empower individuals and strengthen communities by helping people help themselves.

Every day, lives are changed because of GECAC. And beyond the statistics are real people. Real families. Real stories of strength, struggle, and transformation.

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, by phone, by mail with a check, or deliver it in person.
