Greg has lived at the Garvin County Community Living Center (GCCLC) for over 33 years. His mother was a strong supporter of GCCLC before she passed away, hosting clients at her home and buying things like TVs and a basketball court for them. Now, GCCLC is asking for donations to provide Christmas gifts for Greg and their other 55 clients, noting that many clients no longer have family and rely on GCCLC. Donations of $40-60 would fund an individual gift like a coat or new bedding. Lifetouch Photography Studios and Sonic Drive-Ins have also donated stockings and gift cards to help make it a special Christmas for the clients.

Community
Living Center
Greg has been
with GCCLC from
the beginning. He
moved in over 33
years ago.
Before she died,
Greg’s mother was
one of our most
ardent supporters
and not only made
his Christmas
special, but took
others home with
her and Greg.
She also bought
things like big
TVs and a
basketball court
for the group
home for all to
enjoy.
Greg now spends
Christmas with
us……..
Greg loves to play
cards, watch
sports and other
TV programs.
Asked at
Thanksgiving
what he was most
thankful for, Greg
said, without a
moment of hesita-
tion, “Sports.”
Please give
generously so
Greg, and other
GCCLC family
members, will
have a special
Merry
Christmas this
year!

Message from Cathy Cash, CEO
“You are not alone.”
“You are loved and
cherished.”
“We care!”
Those are the
messages you send
when you help
sponsor a client at
GCCLC for
Christmas.
Too often,
society’s most
vulnerable
members are
forgotten. They are
left alone to find their
way through life
because family
members are
themselves struggling
or have all passed
away.
Won’t you consider
becoming family to
the family-less by
sponsoring one
client at Christmas-
time this year?

we have grown, it is more and
more difficult to find this
amount for each of our 55
clients.
This year, Lifetouch
Photography Studios has
adopted GCCLC and will
provide stockings for each
person. Sonic Drive-Ins have
Their lives are valuable.
Our clients perform
meaningful jobs for our
community - they feel a sense
of belonging and purpose
through their work and their
home. Many have hobbies,
attend church and enjoy the
same activities you enjoy by
going out to eat, going to the
movies and going shopping.
What’s more, they shop
locally and spend their money
locally!
GCCLC provides a
Christmas gift (a coat, new
bedding or a jacket) $40-$60
agreed to give a $5 Sonic gift
card for each stocking. Won’t
you join them in making
this a Christmas to
remember?
Through your tax-
deductible donation of $40-
$60(though any amount
would be appreciated), YOU
and Santa can make this an
extra-special Christmas for
one of our clients like Greg.
Thank you for helping
spread the holiday cheer and
making Christmas merry for
our clients. We have included
a return envelope for your
convenience.
