Bringing the Grand Canyon community together this November.

Stand Together Website Banner V3

This November, 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 anyone currently impacted by the government shutdown, including 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.
