Help us share the warmth! Please drop off your clean and gently used coats at GBR. There is a bin placed just inside the front door and coats can be dropped off any time. This project benefits Caring Closet and is sponsored by Nedved Media.

Check out the new addition to the GBR Library! It’s a book vending machine that runs on special tokens! Through this machine we will be able to put books in the hands and homes of learners to keep forever. Books will be given or earned, and learners will get to choose which book they would like. What a fun addition!

Picture retakes are tomorrow, October 4th! Check the newsletter linked here for details...
