A Dedication to Community
There are many benefits to working in the health care industry, but one of the most important to GCS is the opportunity it allows to make the communities in which we live healthier and stronger places. We thrive on helping our neighbors spanning from Virginia to Oregon by volunteering our time. GCS is proud to pay our employees as they take time out of their work week and participate in community service. Additionally, GCS is a place that promotes and embraces employee health and wellness.
GCS COMMUNITY EVENT
Gill Compliance Solutions sponsored a table at the Ohana Oasis Ladybug Luau on September 30, 2016 to support this wonderful organization. Ohana Oasis has a mission to provide a week of peace and restoration, a space for parents to begin the journey of rediscovering joy in life after the death of a child. Gill Compliance Solutions enjoyed this fun night to help parents that have suffered the loss of a child. Learn more about the Ohana Oasis Ladybug Luau.
EMMA'S EVENT
Emma spent time in November volunteering with the Preston Historical Society who works to perpetuate the history of the Town of Preston, Connecticut and preserve documents and records of history. The non-profit organization held a trivia night to raise funds for restoration of the Long Society Meetinghouse. The Meetinghouse is 1 of only a few remaining “broadside” meetinghouses remaining in the country and is a historical treasure for the area. The structure was built in 1817, replacing the original one built in 1726. To date, the Preston Historical Society has raised funds to restore the foundation, replace windows with replica antique glass, paint, and add granite steps to the steep hill to improve access to the community. They are currently fundraising to repair the Meeting house ceiling.
Nicole'S EVENT
Nicole spent time this July volunteering with the Timberline High School Marching Band students in their annual fund raising effort through community car washes that are hosted by local area businesses. Last year the band raised $4,000 through car washes alone, which supports the band in performing at local and distant competitions, uniform expenses, and supporting all students in this extracurricular and artistic activity. In October of 2018, Timberline Marching Band placed 1st overall at the Mel Shelton District III Band Festival in Washington! Fund raising events, such as local car washes, serve to sustain extracurricular high school programs and student involvement in rewarding endeavors with life-long impacts for the students.

JANA'S EVENT
Jana and her family attended the 2019 Share Your Heart Ball benefiting Camp Rainbow Gold. Camp Rainbow Gold provides cancer survivors with an escape from the rigors of their illness. Due to the generosity of so many Idaho residents and major fundraising events orchestrated by wonderful volunteers, this unique camp is provided free of charge to campers and their families. Additionally, camp is attended by a full medical staff and a licensed social worker to ensure the children are supported both medically and emotionally. Camp staff and volunteers are highly trained and aim to provide a fun, safe and caring community for the children. The Camp is in the mist of purchasing a new home outside of Fairfield Idaho. This years proceeds were helping fund this wonderful transition. For more information visit www.camprainbowgold.org.
lisa's event
Lisa and her daughter spent time volunteering at a Wild Hearts Idaho event! Lisa helped with a fly-fishing event and several girls had their first opportunity fly-fishing. Participants had the chance to learn casting techniques, river flows and safety, life cycle of a fly, and fishing catch and release methods. It was a beautiful day on the river and a great way to give back to the community. Wild Hearts Idaho works with youth to help them build leadership skills while exploring the outdoors.
Gill Compliance has been committed to community since our inception. Our efforts don't stop here!
