GCC Community Support Events

This November and December, GCC invites the Grand Canyon community to come together weekly for complimentary dinners at Plaza Bonita and the Maswik Lodge, Santa Fe Room. As we navigate stressful times, we hope these weekly gatherings provide an opportunity to see familiar faces and connect with one another.  

Community dinners are open to staff of the National Park Service, Grand Canyon Unified School District, Delaware North, Xanterra, Grand Canyon Conservancy, South Rim and Tusayan Community Businesses and their families.    

Community members will receive complimentary meals for themselves, and their families for as long as supplies last. 

Anyone from the Grand Canyon community is welcome to attend.
