The Friends of Gillespie County Country Schools are raising funds to modernize and restore 12 historic former schools as community centers in Gillespie County. These schools were closed in the 1950's and 1960's. They are now used as community centers and maintained by community clubs. Our greatest needs are to build restrooms and water wells, as well as repair roofs. No taxpayer monies are used. We gladly accept in-kind and cash donations. All contributions are tax deductible and a receipt will be furnished. |
