Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
Proverbs 22:6
East Grand Community Services is a separate not-for-profit organization that works hand-in-hand with East Grand to provide for the needs of our immediate community. EGCS focuses its efforts on the families in the Bingham and Alice Pittman elementary schools, but any family may receive services from EGCS. EGCS runs several programs to help the Bingham and Pittman families, with most of the focus on Bingham school. For more information, please visit their website here.

After School Program – Bingham and Alice Pittman Elementary Schools
The School Program is a ministry under the umbrella of East Grand Community Services.
