Our Supporters
We wish to extend a special thanks to everyone
who support the Friends

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. No taxpayer monies are used.

We now need to build restrooms and water wells, and repair roofs. We gladly accept in-kind and cash donations. All contributions are tax deductible and a receipt will be furnished.

Are you interested?

  • In-kind donations: please e-mail us.
