Meals and Community Gatherings

GCC Community Events

Bringing the Grand Canyon community together.

Stand Together for Grand Canyon

Now More Than Ever, Community Matters.

From the significant flash-flooding event to the ongoing water challenges, this is an unprecedented moment for Grand Canyon and it's deeply affecting the people who live and work here. 

GCC is here to support our community. Come together, share a meal, connect, and support one another during this challenging time. 

Community members will receive complimentary meals for themselves and their families for as long as supplies last. Take out food is unavailable to ensure we can provide meals to as many people in attendance as possible.

Anyone from the Grand Canyon community is welcome to attend.
