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.
