New Jersey Constellation

RISE Pantry Volunteer Event
GCU proudly continued its mission of faith, friendship,
and service by volunteering at the RISE Pantry, located
at 133 Broad Street in Hightstown, NJ in October and
November. Our members came together to support
the pantry’s vital work in serving the local community.
GCU members helped organize and distribute food
and essential supplies to families in need, ensuring that
everyone who came to the pantry received assistance
with care and respect.
