Greater Greenwood United Ministry is made possible through the many volunteers that take their valuable time and skills to serve others. These individuals include physicians, nurses, pharmacists, lab-techs, administrator, interviewers, receptionists and others. Our clinic is the only one in Greenwood County that provides free medical and dental services (except for Hope Clinic, which provides medical services to the Hispanic community). GGUM is the only source of free prescription medicine in the county. Our services to the community could not be possible without our wonderful volunteers!
Listed below are some of our recent volunteer needs.
