How Our Center Exists

After 10 years as a “virtual” center, our dream of a home came true in 2007. Our program is growing, and we are welcoming new students every week. Although we are affiliated with the FPMT organization, we are still locally-supported. The center does not receive any funding from the International Office. GGBC exists entirely through the kindness of our teachers, and the generosity of our students.

Membership

We still depend largely on members who have pledged monthly contributions. See our page about the Membership Program. The membership levels are also listed on our Network for Good page.

Volunteering

The work of the center is done by volunteers. The board members and officers do not receive any payment. Check with one of the administrators about how you might be able to volunteer. We often need volunteers for special events.
Participating in eScrip doesn’t cost you anything.

Here’s How it Works

• You register any one or all of your existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in the program.

• Participating merchants will make contributions to your chosen group, based on purchases made by you, just by using the cards you have registered.

• Your purchases are tracked and available to you online, allowing you to see just how much you are earning on your group’s behalf!
