… Georgetown Ministry Center’s brand new video about who we are and what we do!

Back in November, we posted about Nelson Cuellar, a local filmmaker who volunteered to help us make a video about Georgetown Ministry Center. Nelson spent several hours in our center filming and interviewing staff, guests, and volunteers. He spent even more hours editing the footage, and we premiered the final product at the Have a Heart luncheon on Valentine’s Day.

Thank you so much, Nelson, for all of your work and enthusiasm!

Steve and Susan Kostorowski, along with Patricia Peva, of Water Street Gym presided over one of the largest coat drives in Georgetown history.  The timing was perfect.  Over 90 beautiful coats in mint condition along with assorted hats, gloves, and scares were delivered to GMC today by the folks of Water Street Gym.  The Gym held a coat drive over the last month and a half.  Thank you, Waterstreet Gym.  Thank You!
