The garden is a metaphor that represents one’s mind – a messy and beautiful life-long project. The endless journey of self-growth is not linear – just as you must put in lots of work before seeing fruit from your labor. Every season comes with the chance of a natural disaster, and you would, seemingly, have to start from scratch. Except you have so much knowledge when you start this time, you have more developed insight and better tactics to help you achieve. 

At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: every person has an irreplaceable purpose on this planet. Your value is unwavering regardless of your abilities, background, work status, or personal beliefs. We strive to build a supportive community where individuals in various seasons of life can access affordable services and free resources. GG Inc. empowers Appalachian communities through sustainable initiatives that foster resilience, mental wellness, independence, and growth. Our mission is to provide underserved individuals navigating the hardships of life with inclusive, affordable services such as advocacy programs, adult education workshops, and peer-led mental health support.

By addressing key social determinants of health, we strive to create holistic solutions that promote healing and lasting impact. Our recent efforts include events to provide essential resources to those in need (like free clothing drives), university partnerships to host wellness activities that promote mental and physical well-being, and collaborative projects with local organizations to expand community services. Additionally, our virtual events ensure that individuals across the region can access peer support, advocacy workshops, and educational opportunities regardless of location. Through partnerships and community-driven efforts, our organization continues to plant seeds of change and build stronger, more resilient local communities.
