No matter the need
The Great River Outreach is bringing people together to help build-up and develop our local communities. We provide a welcoming place with practical resources that deliver holistic care and helps meet the essential needs for many in our community. Fit-For-Life workshops equip and prepare people for lives of service within our community and beyond. GRO has been accomplishing this work in Carroll County and surrounding areas since 2007.
Now located at 411 - 417 Main Street, Savanna, Illinois, the GRO Resource Center provides a meeting place for remote family services and local clients. We have served 80,000 meals and counting to our neighbors within Carroll County. We need your help and support! Donating and volunteering with GRO is your opportunity to change lives where the need is greatest.
All donations go directly to fund the Table, Classy Closet clothing, and Bridges where community happens. You will help make possible a nourishing lunch along with weekly Fit-For Life Classes which promote self-reliance and build life-giving relationships with others. GRO also supports the Stronghold Summer Bible Camp where local children get to play, learn and hear God's Word.
