Although the Grayson County Community Action (GCCA) building remains closed to the public due to the coronavirus pandemic, the organization said it is currently accepting documentation needed for its various programs via email.
“But, if someone is unable to email, we set up appointments and meet them outside of the building,” GCCA said.
