One role of community foundations is to facilitate assistance for the greatest needs of a community. Our friends at the Greater Houston Community Foundation (GHCF) are currently faced with tremendous needs to provide Hurricane Harvey Relief.
The Mayor of Houston and the greater Houston community have partnered with the GHCF to create a relief fund to help direct gifts where they are needed most.
We encourage members of the York County community interested in providing financial support to the relief efforts to consider a gift to the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund at GHCF. For more information, please visit www.ghcf.org.
