New Playground Opens at GUS

It truly took a village to bring this playground to life!

To the many hands that made short work of this project, to those who kept homes running while our volunteers worked away, to those who helped feed our volunteers, to those who supplied materials or services, and to those who financially supported the project: thank you.

This project would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our volunteer project managers:
