Each month we mail cards of encouragement and monthly devotional books to seniors, the Groveway’s sick list and those who might just need a word of encouragement.

Our organization has been truly blessed that we were able to continue our motto “If We Can Help Somebody” during these uncertain times. It is not how much you give, but how much you reach out from the heart to let others know you care.

We are looking for younger adults that are committed and passionate about serving others. Check us out on Facebook or Groveway’s web page, we would love to have you on our team. We meet monthly on the first Saturday.

Groveway will continue to grow and serve our community. Groveway has held on to those things that will always connect us. We will keep the vision and not let go of our mission of helping others.

Thanks to all that have supported us financially, with your prayers and through participation. To the members: I am greatly appreciative for your sacrifices that you continue to make to Groveway Community Group.

S. Gail Bohannon, President
