Early in 2014 a community outreach group was born with the goal to address some of the needs of people in the greater Barboursville area. Several churches, concerned citizens, and community organizations got together and decided to combine efforts on several fronts: a free monthly community meal, outreach to seniors, and outreach to low-income families with children.
GBCO's main focus has been a free monthly meal, for anyone, anyone who wants to eat with others, anyone who doesn't want to eat alone, folks who have more month than money, anyone.
On October 1, 2017, we had our third HUNGER WALK within the city limits of Barboursville, raising $1,200 in donations to be distributed among ECCHO, the Facing Hunger Foodbank, and Church World Service. Last year we raised nearly $2,000: Click here to see the news report!
GBCO meals are now hosted at the Barboursville Senior Center.
Upcoming dates: June 30, July 28. 3pm.
