The Chamber Gives Back Project

The GCACC strongly supports our belief that we have a responsibility to provide avenues for our members and their employees to give back into their community.

Through our Chamber Gives Back projects, the community and our members can support local nonprofits, churches and charitable organizations.

One of our largest projects was held in late summer when we invite our members to encourage their employees to bring new schools supplies and backpacks to a drop off location where they are collected, sorted and donated to the Southwestern City School District.

The Chamber Gives Back Project is one of the most popular and well participated programs that the Chamber offers.

About Buddy Ball

The Grove City Buddy Ball program is more than just baseball. It is about making new friends, building self-esteem and treating everyone equally. Buddy Ball removes barriers that keep children and adults with mental and physical disabilities off the baseball field. Our teams play on the Mirolo Dream Field, at Mount Carmel Stadium, a custom designed tiled rubberized surface that will accommodate wheelchairs and other assistive devices.

About the Chamber Foundation

The Grove City Chamber Foundation was established in 2012 by members of the Grove City Area Chamber of Commerce who were passionate about enhancing the Chamber's ability to positively impact the educational opportunities of our community.

Since 2013, we have awarded over $198,000 to 324+ local students, young professionals, and business owners thanks to fundraising and generous donations.

Our scholarship categories cover a variety of learning opportunities, including but not limited to post-secondary education degrees, technical education, career training certificates, and continuing education credits.

About Grove City Food Pantry

The Grove City Food Pantry + Emergency Services is a food pantry and emergency help agency in Grove City, Ohio. Founded in the 1980's, we have served the community on the belief that NO family should go hungry or be on the street. What started out as an operation in the basement of the Grove City United Methodist Church, quickly moved into its own building next door. With help from the City of Grove City, Villages of Orient and Harrisburg Ohio, City of Galloway, Mid-Ohio Food Bank, Southwest Christian Ministerial Association, State of Ohio, local businesses, and citizens like you, we are able to help thousands of families a year from starving.

About the M.A.S.H. Pantry

Welcome to MASH Pantry, a community organization dedicated to making a positive impact through compassionate service and support. Our mission is to ensure everyone has access to essential resources, addressing food insecurity and promoting well-being for individuals and families in need.

Food Assistance Programs: We operate many comprehensive food pantries that distribute fresh produce, non-perishable goods, and hygiene products to those facing food insecurity. Our pantries are stocked through partnerships with local farms, businesses, community food drives, and our very own Community Honor Gardens & Greenhouse Programs.

Emergency Relief Services: During crises, such as natural disasters or economic hardships, MASH Pantry offers emergency relief services to ensure immediate access to essential supplies and support. We provided assistance following the Kentucky tornadoes, the tornadoes in Indian Lake, Ohio, and the hurricane in North Carolina.

Community Outreach and Advocacy: We actively engage with the community through outreach programs and advocacy efforts. Collaborating with local organizations and policymakers, we raise awareness about food insecurity and advocate for sustainable solutions.

Join us in our mission to create a community where no one goes hungry. Together, we can make a difference—one meal, one family, and one life at a time.
